Frigid Fissures - Resembling the cracked skin of age, these fissures in the Greenland ice sheet reveal bright blue ice that has been concealed for aeons.Glacial Lake - The arctic highlands near Kangerlussuaq are perforated with lakes of various sizes and shapes that were left behind by receding glaciers.Hut on the Fjord - The hut overlooking the fjord near Kangerlussuaq suggests a peaceful solitude on an intrinsically beautiful and dynamic land that is rarely visited.Glacial River of Ice - Glacial flow near Jakobshavn appears as a river of moving ice on an ice-sheet.
