Summary

Description
English: Natural-colour image of Roze Glacier fringed by sea ice. The image is rotated and north is toward the upper right. The glacier pushes slowly seaward between two rocky ridges. Uneven snow cover on the rock surfaces creates a patchwork of brown and white. Some snow also rests on the adjacent sea ice, which appears in shades of white and gray. In the east, a large patch of gray ice immediately offshore may owe its color to a layer of melt water or simply a lack of snow cover. On the glacier itself, isolated pools of melt water form ovals and slivers of blue-gray. Dwarfing the melt ponds, two long parallel stripes extend southward toward the coast. The stripes look like debris along the sides of a relatively fast-flowing ice stream, which may have picked up rocks and dirt from an upslope rock outcrop.
