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.

on March 5, 2020Constantly 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.
