Ice sheet surface, aerial photograph. This undulating surface is part of the Greenland ice sheet, a vast mass of ice that covers most of Greenland. The ice contorts under its own weight as it accumulates after snowfall and as it moves over the underlying rock. Photographed close to the Ilulissat Icefjord.
