3D model of a box-type structure under a small cairn near the Bear Trap in Northwest Greenland
This dataset consists of files that can be used to view a high-resolution 3D model of a box-type structure under a small cairn in the vicinity of ‘The Bear Trap’. The interior of the stone box appears to have been completely empty. Similar small stone box structures have been identified and discusse...
