This photo was taken above
the ice tower Couloir Cliffs -- granite rocks nearly 5km long and 30-60m
high, named after their numerous chimneys and couloirs (mountainside
gorges). As the exposed rocks soak up the sun's warmth, the snow melts.
Water trickles down the cracks and runs under the sea ice. It freezes as
it flows underwater, and the steep rock walls below the surface become
coated with ice, forming magical frozen waterfalls or "icefalls."
