Karlinger Kees Glacier, Austria.
On the Karlinger Kees Glacier in Austria, surfaces are white and gray in the summer, as the previous winter’s snow cover gradually melts away to reveal the many years’ worth of fissured ice beneath. The size and shape of these fissures depends on the flow speed of the ice, and on the unevenness of the ground over which the glacier slowly moves.
