Vestfirdir, NW Iceland -- more brutalised dendritic patterns


This is a fabulous and brand new satellite image of the Vestfirdir Peninsula ("the western fjords") in NW Iceland, showing once again how streaming ice flowing within outlet glacier troughs tends to eliminate interfluves and spurs, leading to a simplified dendritic pattern dominated by the major ice routeways...........  This pattern has probably evolved over many different glacial episodes.
