The Ice Cap - Russell Glacier

Russell Glacier is the glacier located 25 kilometers east of Sondrestrom Air Base (now Kangerlussuaq). It is active, advancing 25 meters every year, and due to easy approach it remains a popular tourist target.

First time that I saw the Glacier was in May 1984. Don’t go too close, stupid!
