Landsat image of glaciers and icebergs, Disko Bay, Qaasuitsup, western Greenland
Landsat image of glaciers that drain the central ice field through Disko Bay, western Greenland. Near the western edge of the image are two communities, Ilulissat (to the north) and Claushavn (to the south). I chose this image, which was acquired in 2000, as a basis of comparison with a series of images that I posted after flying over the same features in 2012. By comparing the two sets of images (the posted aerial photographs and the Landsat image), one can get a better appreciation of glacial actions. This satellite image is the first in a series that show the same area.
This is a high-resolution image with a lot of detail. Place your cursor above the image and then click on cursor—a world of detail will be available for your viewing.
