This is a fabulous image -- Fedchenko Glacier in Tajikistan. The biggest glacier outside of the polar regions -- 70 km long.
This isn't too bad either -- Bering Glacier in Alaska:
Below: Barnard Glacier, Alaska (a photo much used in text books)
And finally Corridoren Gletscher, Greenland -- a photo that makes me feel slightly giddy,
every time I look at it......
Biggest or longest? Bering Glacier is ~190 km in length - Shuchman, R. A., & Josberger, E. G. (Eds.). (2010). Bering Glacier: interdisciplinary studies of Earth's largest temperate surging glacier (Vol. 462). Geological Society of America.
ReplyDeleteBut maybe I am biased, I had 4 great field seasons there. A colleague and I have chapter in the above book.
