Description
A few minutes after I took the previous picture, while flying at an altitude of 34,000-ft., the landscape changed yet again. The ice of the glaciers appears to be flowing from the inland (upper part of picture) toward the coast.
This picture was taken on 3 October 1991 and later scanned.

...eine schöne, eisige Landschaft! Wunderbare Aufnahme!
Photos like this will be more difficult to get as time passes. The melting of the glaciers is no different than in eras past but it does remind us that he earth is constantly changing. Favulous shot.
Fantastic scene..awesome capture! :)
I know it isn't but the bottom right of the picture looks like wheel tracks Sig, I guess it is caused be the wind blowing the snow and ice. If you follow them back you can see it isn't possible for them to be tracks at all. There is no way I will ever get to 34,000 feet so thanks for sharing. I think the highest I have been is to the top of Blackpool tower as a kid. Lol. Excellent capture. Bravo!!!!!
@PJ. I agree with you on Global Warming. Whether men is a contributing factor or not is up for debate. Historically we had glacial and inter-glacial periods for 1000s of years. I think these glaciers will be there during our life times, Sig..
@Jeff. I don't think those are tracks. I am glad that you enjoy these pictures taken from altitude. I have been up to 43,000-ft., both in an Altitude Chamber and an aircraft. The picture I didn't get was a night refueling of a B-2 bomber. A flash picture was out of the question, and it was too dark for any other type of picture, but the feeling I had during the refueling of this Stealth Bomber was one of Star Wars, Sig...
The movement has led to stress ridges that show the flow. A broader picture than Alaska.
a river of ice but it still frozen hard. cool shot. Love air shots. Makes trips worth it just for theses shots
Its not melting per se although that might contribute to it. Ice does flow and even before the period we are in now where we have a hightened awareness of changes evidence had been gathered of this type of behaviour. Indeed these are the great knives that shape and cut the valleys and mountains.
Very fantastic
impressive Sig ! I hope it lasts forever, great capture and info, excelent !
Excellent capture!!! :)
Superb image! Wonderful pov, atmo and lighting! 5+
marvelous!
Great shot of these fantastic glaciers. With all the hype about global warming, not sure how much longer the glaciers will look like this. The whole world is changing. Love your series. Aloha
I have heard that glaciers are misleading about appearing relative smooth, that they have many clevises that can be so deep as to no chance of surviving the fall.very interesting Sig.I appreciate you sharing these awesome memories
Wonderful capture!
Interesting and well done, Sig!
Super beautiful image my friend. Roby <(><...<(><....<(><....<(><....<><..
