Another Roche Moutonnee


This is a fantastic photo of a very large roche moutonnee on the coast of Milne Land, East Greenland, taken (very recently) by Chris Sugden during a trip in the ice-strengthened vessel called "Sea Bear".  The ship managed to circumnavigate Milne Land by following the fjords which have, in the past, been largely impenetrable because of thick sea ice and iceberg debris.  Another consequence of global warming......

Anyway, on this photo there is not much doubt about the direction of ice movement during past glacial episodes......
