Title: | The icy peaks of Renland looking west from the valley beneath Pythagoras Bjerg, Kjoveland, North-East Greenland |
Description: | Much of the valley slope of Pythagorasberg (1376m) is strewn with huge boulders (looking like musk-oxen in this sketch), either huge erratics or rocks fallen in landslide. I walked to the gap overlooking the Nordvestfjord, looking across to the icy peaks of Renland. Hugh Lang and David Shaw followed much the same route |
Medium: | Chalk and charcoal sketch |
Artist: | Woolmore, Ray |
Note: | Looking west from the "lake" valley, leading to the gap falling steeply to Nordivestfjord. Lat. 71°22'N, long. 25°10'W. (Danmark-Gronland 1:250,000 Sheet 71 Ø.2 Stauning Alper.) |
