The scale in my mind really shifted when I realized that tree is likely far taller than me.

Yep, that’s from up here in Alaska. Glaciers are frozen highways through the mountains.

Ah nice! I spent quite a bit of time in Lancaster, did you go any further than Windermere? The real views are further on in places like Buttermere and Langdale 👌

Yeah definitely! Small world I live 12 miles from kendal haha

I thought it said send dunes.

Where in AK? Great picture

I was just in Namibia a few weeks ago and let me say, what a glorious land it is. Gorgeous place

It is

Not in Namibia.

Yeah, it's a combo of the rainy season and the hot season. March to September is the best.

Oh, it's dead.

Lovely. Crosspossting it to /r/Namibia.

Where's my man Muad-Dib at?

"Glacier looks like what it is"

Blue ridge mountains, shanandoah river. Life is old there, older than the trees. Younger than the mountains.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have seen this in person. Alaska is something else.

So beautiful, but so incredibly hot! We almost hit 40 degrees haha

SOSSUSVLEI!

I climbed dune 45 back in 2004!!

I'll never forget it! I really hope I can return to Namibia someday. <3

Not even stuck. Most of them actually move but at a rate we can't notice by iust looking at them. There are even some of them that scratched the river/ocean floor while moving and startled sonic underwater detectors. I think you can find them on YT

It is the flow of water. The frozen flow of water. Ice is still a liquid just with a rather high viscosity.

It flows via internal shear stress (deformation), basal melting resulting in sliding and/or if resting on a soft bed - subglacial deformation.

Thank you for attending my TEDTalk.

Well, it is a flow of water, a slow flow

Definitely earned their name today.
