Description

This aerial oblique view shows the lower portion of the Knik Glacier in foreground and middle ground and most of the calving face of the glacier in foreground. Dark mountains rise on both sides of the ice and a well-defined medial moraine is evident near the center of the glacier along its length. In background mountain peaks form the skyline with glacier ice flowing down from them to join the main glacier below. Immediate foreground exhibits a lake at the glacier face with several icebergs apparently floating in it.
