Deep Snow, Glacial Source

Greenland

*** Best view at original size ***

Some of the deepest snow I have ever seen. The vantage point is approximately 35,000 feet which means that the snow drifts,
especially as evidenced in the lower left, have to be hundreds of feet thick. The weight of all of that snow gets compressed and,
with the assist of gravity, starts the process of glacier formation. Truly an amazing landscape. How many glacial flows do you see?

the entire image flows smoothly...fine comp and exposure control...difficult to enumerate glacial flows as hard to say where one ends and another begins...V

I really like the abstract quality to this shot. Great tones.

Outstanding!!! It doesn't even look at all like it was shot though an aircraft window. ~BV~

Beautiful capture, with such an amazing accumulation of snow. I only see what looks like two, but probably there are more. V.
