The beauty of ice caps

 



Ice caps are endlessly fascinating because they give us, within relatively restricted areas, all of the essential features of the glacier system. 

These are two of my favourite photos from East Greenland, showing the  "ice cap belt" on the seaward flank of the Greenland ice sheet.  The top image shows what the landscape looks like in the winter, and the lower one was taken during the summer when most of the ephemeral snowcover had been melted off.
