Glacial drumlin with muskoxen
Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) run through an arctic meadow by a glacial drumlin. The herd was very shy and hard to get close to without spooking them. Glacial drumlins are elongated hills in the shape of a half-buried egg formed by glacial ice acting on underlying unconsolidated till. The direction of glacial flow in this image was from right (steeper side) to left. Rypefjord, Scoresby Sund, Greenland.

on April 11, 2020How exciting to see the herd of muskoxen--even if you couldn't get close, what a great sight of them in their natural environment--like reddish plants over the open land.
