Hold onto your horses, folks -- this switchback of a glacier is really rather amazing. Makes one almost feel giddy just looking at it. But of course it's a bit of an optical illusion, looking up the glacier from quite low down, with a foreshortening effect......
It's Korridoren Glacier in East Greenland. The belts of medial moraine are quite something, telling us that the ice has come from six or seven different tributary glaciers.
