500px provided description: "Beyond that, an isolated mountain of striking boldness and sharpness of outline jutted into the air apparently some two thousand feet, and then, from its base, the crystal wall of a great glacier stretched clear across the opposite side of the bay head. This glacier I named, in honour of my Alma Mater, Bowdoin Glacier, and the bay I called Bowdoin Bay." Robert E. Peary, Northward over the Great Ice, p. 393--394. This photo was taken a few days before a major iceberg detached from the glacier front. [#water ,#mountain ,#ice ,#glacier ,#greenland ,#moraine ,#calving ,#crevasse ,#bowdoin ,#qaanaaq]
