How much do we know about Stonehenge? Less than we think. And what has Stonehenge got to do with the Ice Age? More than we might think. This blog is mostly devoted to the problems of where the Stonehenge bluestones came from, and how they got from their source areas to the monument. Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...

Plateau ice caps, Greenland
Another amazing image from Greenland -- at first sight, I thought this picture was a bit spooky, and even threatening -- made me think of triffids or strange white snow monsters extending their icy tentacles down from the freezing heights. But fear not -- these plateau ice caps and their little outlet glaciers are really quite harmless.......
You should be able to click on the photo and pick up some incredible detail on the glaciers, the fjords and the ice caps themselves.

happy to acknowledge that -- I think it is a site on which people can share their best images. You can get this one at very high resolution.
Thanks Brian
