Cool Greenland Glacier Photo
While I’m not a glaciologist, I do quite a bit of work with folks who love to study snow and ice, which is why compared to many of the images I have seen, this is one of the better ones. And while Alaska is filled with glaciers, many of them beautiful, few if any are so symmetrical.
The image is of glacier in Northeast Greenland called the Elephant’s Foot. Here’s a Google Map of its general location at 81N latitude. I tried finding it zooming in but no luck. Maybe you can find it. All I can think is it must be smaller than it looks
Here’s a similar “piedmont” glacier as they call them, in Alaska, called Malispina Glacier. It by contrast is very obvious.
And if you find glacier photos fascinating, the International Polar Year website has a complete gallery of other photos, from polar bears to icebergs. Check it out.
