Arctic Terns Feeding on Krill and Capelin, Iceland


Aerial view of Arctic Terns feeding on krill and capelin during glacial surge at Breidamerkurjokull, Vatnajokull Ice Cap, Iceland. A surge-type glacier experiences a dramatic increase in flow rate, which can be 10-100 times greater than normal flow rates. Glacier surges turn the glacier surface into a maze of ice towers and crevasses.
