Asset Overview

Here is our first attempt at photogrammetry of a cave. There is still a lot to learn. We have no scale, and there's some floating blobs, but we'll work on this as we move forward. This is U-Tut Ilusilik Qaarusussuaq (U-shaped cave) located at 80#N in Northeast Greenland. It was discovered in 1960 by a group of American Geologists. It is c. 100 m long and has two entrances. The cave is formed along a distinctive unconformity and there are a number of ice patches along the base of the walls. Production of this model and hosting on this website was made possible by FWF Project Y1162-N37.
