Sastrugi on the Nuuk Shoreline

Sastrugi on the Nuuk Shoreline

A view from the shoreline boardwalk in Nuuk below Blok 17 on a sunny Sunday under a clear spring sky. The foreground features prominent sastrugi, which are hardened, wave-like snow ridges formed by wind erosion and deposition. These structures create a surface so hard-packed that it can often support a person's weight.
