ANC: Shots of Alaska

Here are some shots of Mount McKinley and its sister mountain to the West. I've been trying to find out the name of the peak. If anyone knows or has a website, please post. You'd think the peak names would be listed on Google Maps, but alas they are not...

The mountains and their glaciers are in the Denali National Park and Wildlife Preserve.

Greenland

Here are some aerial photos of Greenland you might enjoy. Glaciers are immense, even from 36,000 feet. However, the huge icebergs seem to lose their size from that altitude, and kind of look like floating foam pellets. While viewing the photos, you can check out the Google Maps Sattelite Photo.

The west coast of Greenland, taken on June 3rd, 2008.

Note that the west coast is much flatter than the east.


Not as many glaciers and hence, not as many icebergs.
