Quickie: Hubbard Glacier, Alaska, USA - August 13th, 1982

In this image, taken by the Keyhole 9-17 reconnaissance satellite (https://goo.gl/K1uk9j) on August 13th, 1982, you can see the Hubbard Glacier and Valerie Glacier, along with other glaciers in Alaska, USA.

The Keyhole 9-17 satellite was an American reconnaissance satellite - one in a long series of cold war spy satellites. Most of its images have been declassified by now and are available to the public. I encourage you to download the full-size image on Flick to really enjoy the image.
