Another fabulous image from Mike Beauregard. The loops of moraine formed by small valley glaciers are very spectacular -- they are located to the east of Dexterity Fjord in Northern Baffin Island. The small glaciers have retreated several hundred metres from their advanced positions -- fifty years ago apparently all of these glacier snouts were located at the terminal moraine positions.

Here is a Bing satellite image showing the same valley in summer:
In this image, north is at the bottom of the photo.
