Greenland by Air

This photo of the Sondrestrom Glacier in Greenland was taken from a window on NASA's Gulfstream III environmental research aircraft as it flew along the Fjord outside of Kangerlussuaq on June 4. The synthetic aperture radar mounted on the aircraft's belly had just completed the repeat pass of southeast Greenland and was on its way back to Thule Air Base during the Arctic Ice Radar Mission.
