Digital Images of Coastal Greenland from the Air

Taken by Dr. Colbath, Summer 1999

The red arrow in the top left image points to the shadow of the contrail trailing behind the plane.  This is one of the ice streams being squeezed through the mountain passes.  Note that moraines are clearly visible, indicating that this is in the zone of ablation.
