Quote-post of @huubeggen.bsky.social: Wow 👇the 1600-mm lens used by a cosmonaut pulls in amazing details despite being ~1000 km away!
There are pins on isspix.com/ISS073 for Huub's post: on #BearGlacier in #Alaska, & to its SSE (location of the photographer on the ISS); both also have high-res link
The image shows an oblique view of a large snowfield with glaciers emerging from it, and barren parts of smaller peninsulas with patches of snow. In the image centre a glacier - Beat Glacier - ends in a blue lagoon full of pieces of ice. The lagune is separated from the sea by a thin land barrier. At left in the image another glacier is visible. This is the Aialik Glacier.
