Orthomosaics and digital elevation model of the 'Bear Trap' - a Norse ruin in Northwest Greenland
This dataset consists of a digital elevation model (DEM) and an orthomosaic of the ‘Bear Trap’ (also called ‘Bjørnefælden’ in Danish, and ‘Putdlagssuaq’ or ‘The Great Trap’ Greenlandic Kalaallisut), a Norse ruin at the western end of the Nuussuaq Peninsula in NW Greenland. Images comprise 1032 low-a...
