White, red and blue

Amazing red hills of Rodefjord juxtaposed against a gleaming iceberg, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland. The rocks were formed over 300 million years ago (Carboniferous/Permian period) by erosion of the Caledonian mountain chain and then deposited as sediments. The iron-rich sedimentary rocks get their red colour from oxidized iron.
