Bornhardts with iceberg

This image is an example of the surprising geology of Greenland. Most of you are familiar with Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, a classic example of a bornhardt. I was amazed to see this line of granite bornhardts near the water on Jameson Land, Hall Bredning, next to a dome-shaped iceberg. Scoresby Sund, East Greenland.

    wow! A MARVELOUS landscape image! The "bornhardts" term was new to me, too. I always love to learn something new.

    This is such a fine image and you're right the landscape is very different. Gorgeous!

    Constantly changing scenery! The sharp high mountains beyond, with the bornhardts by the water--I wasn't familiar with the term, so Googled it--thanks for educating us! Very dramatic view, with clouds clinging to the peaks.
