An image of Earth from space...

showing some of the glaciers and fjords of the Svalbard (Spitsbergen) archipelago (click to enlarge.) Highlighted in this image is Bockfjorden, located at almost 80 degrees north.

I will be visiting this location and others in about a month as I participate in an expedition as a geologist guide.
