| Title: |
Icebergs seen from Milne Land Base Camp, North-East Greenland |
| Description: |
Towering icebergs left stranded in this bay of Scoresby Sund (Hall Bredning). The airstrip was on the higher deltaic sands and gravels carrying the melt-water rivers flowing from the "Korridoren" ice-cap. The Arcturus Milne Land expedition 1997 led by Robert Burton established its Base Camp in this northern corner of the nameless bay, close to a river, which in a few days would burst its banks, after heavy rain, and nearly flood the camp. |
