Two nice satellite images from Svalbard. The top one is from the NW of the island, and the lower one is from the N part. The top image shows typical jagged upland terrain, with many knife-edged ridges and steep peaks -- the shadows of these peaks on the snow is what gives the terrain a ragged or jagged appearance. Don't know what the geology is.......
The lower photo shows an area with more extensive snowfields and plateaux, and fewer jagged peaks. More interesting for glaciologists, maybe, but not for mountaineers.
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...
