An image of Earth...

from space showing the Heiltskuk Icefield in the southern Coast Mountains of British Columbia (click to enlarge). Geomorphology students should be able to pick out a wide variety of alpine glacial features - including valley glaciers, horns, aretes, cirques, moraines - in the enlarged view.
