The left image covers an area of 30 x 20 km; the right image covers 36 x 30 km. The fals color composite displays vegetation in red. In the left image a number of glacial features: moraines, ice falls, crevasses, source snow field, toes, and a dark debris covered glacier. The right image dramatically shows a single large glacier, covered with crevasses. A semi-circular terminal moraine indicates that the glacier was once more extensive than at present.
