Comfortlessbreen

Aerial photograph taken looking west across the upper basin of Comfortlessbreen, illustrating its heavily crevassed surface beneath an extensive ice cover. Note the prominent bergschrund below the crags on the far side of the glacier; they are beginning to show the draw-down of the surface that is typical of surging glaciers. The peaks on the distant skyline are on Prins Karls Forland, off the west coast of Spitsbergen (MH).
