Landscape Image of the Week for the week ending Mar. 28th, 2014: Linda Dulak - Formation Of a Glacier
Congratulations Linda!
This image was taken near Neko Harbor in Antarctica. What I like about this image is that it shows just how those glaciers are formed with the wind bringing snow over the top of the mountains and depositing it to form that glacier moving to the ocean. There is actually very little snow in Antarctica (average about 9 inches per year?) but lots of wind which blows it into basins like this. And the colors are like this with a very blue tint to everything when the sun is shining. We had lots of sun and little wind at sea level so it was interesting to see the powerful wind at the tops of the mountains.

Comments welcome and desired.
Linda
