Description
Summary:View to the NE across a portion of the glaciated plateau at the top of Gros Morne Mountain. Beyond the deep valley is the glaciated plateau at the crest of the Long Range Mountains. The rock rubble at the surface, called a tor, does not show consistent striations but is thought to develop by rock fracture beneath a slow-moving glacier." The valley in the middle of the image is Ten Mile Pond, an Icelandic trough carved by an outlet glacier. This image is similar to image 373, but shows more clearly the steep walls of the outlet glacier valley, Ten Mile Pond.
