Notice that 4 out of 6 of my examples above refer to ice and did you know that the 2017 Iditerod is starting in Fairbanks, Alaska instead of Anchorage because of the lack of snow in Anchorage! They have sent it all down here to Vancouver, British Columbia, where we've had THE worst winter EVER with so much snow that it's sometimes been difficult for me to get out in the car. And today as I write this, (March 5th) I woke up to another dump of this incessant white stuff! No one can remember us ever getting snow in December, let alone March!
So with that in mind, I decided to show you some photos that I took from the airplane as I flew over Greenland last summer on my way home from my immensely memorable trip to the United Kingdom. I used my new Canon SX720HS camera with 40X telephoto lens and I think the shots are incredible. When the pilot announced we were approaching Greenland, I got into position at the very back of the plane (where I was sitting) and started focusing. If you click on the first photo, you can see them in full screen and will see much more detail. We start with a few shots of some clouds and then possibly some land.
This next one looks like waterfalls, but they're clouds.
Could that actually be land?
Then, for sure there was land!
Notice the wing tip at the upper left corner!
These last two (above and below) are of ICE FLOES!

Wow, spectacular!!
Your photos are magical.
We are having record snow fall in the Sierra Nevada mountains that go along the California/Nevada border.
As of now 565 inches have fallen!! More is on the way.
They are saying that the ski resorts will be open until July 4th...that's just plain crazy.
Wow, if Alaska is lacking in snow, that's a scary thing.

Beautiful photos, - have some nice ones coming across the Rockies and into the Kelowna airport, but no ice floes!!! Sorry about your snow, - it keeps falling here in the Similkameen, too, but soon melts and doesn't cause as much havoc...
Stunning shots.
it's INTERESTING that Chicago has had ZERO snow the 1st two months of 2017, while Seattle is getting pelted!
ROG, ABCW
we have small planes that fly over glaciers. wonder if they see what you saw. I only walked to the tip.

Calling by from ABC Wednesday, what stunning photos you have shared, great I post, thankyou.
They are wonderful ! I love these kind of clouds, now I am inspired to make a painting ! For the moment I paint with my fingers so for clouds that is ideal !
You've captured some marvelous scenery. A certain lack of snow here this winter, you must have got ours.
Wowza! Your photos of gorgeous scenery are amazing, Leslie. Thank you for sharing them.
Wow! These shots are truly amazing. Thanks for sharing, my friend, and blessings!
