Today's image of the day focuses on glacial lakes still growing near Yakutat, Alaska and references Senaca Lake, the longest Finger Lake. In 1984, they covered about 130 square kilometers. By 2024, they spanned 240 square kilometers. #glaciology earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/15363...

Happy #FoldFriday! ⚒️ This is Kirkeporten, a rock formation that looks like a large gate. It's located in Skarsvåg, in the northernmost part of mainland Norway. In pre-Christian times, this location was supposedly used as an important religious site by the Sámi. #Geology
