Greenland, Warming Island, off coast of Liverpool Land, Warming Island, 2006 - This aerial photograph has an inset map that explains the geography. The arrow matches with the glacier on Warming Island. The protruding glacier in the foreground is part of Liverpool Land on the island of Greenland. The peak labeled N 71 degrees 28.294 minutes by W 021 degrees 51.620 minutes was climbed by our group on Sept 10, 2006. We used two GPSs to record the coordinates and the height at 1620 feet. The map shows it at 490 meters, or 1607 feet. The tabular iceberg in the right foreground is probably broken away from the glacier in the foreground. The iceberg calved on a daily basis.
