| Title: |
The Kastryggen waterfall above the southern Schuchert Dal Camp, North-East Greenland |
| Description: |
A most impressive location, comparable to Malham Cove. Liz Patterson and the artist climbed round to the top of the waterfall to see whether there were any limestone pavements on top; but, without clints and grikes, we could only describe the top area as proto-pavement. Clearly the near desert-like conditions do not favour the full development of the limstone pavements as seen in England, though there were potholes in the river bed above the waterfall. |
