Infrared-enhanced image of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_Fjord" class="extiw" title="w:College Fjord">w:College Fjord</a>, Alaska, USA. Snow appears white, glaciers appear bright blue, and land surfaces with vegetation on them appear red. Although the two-dimensional image makes it appear that the glaciers along the western side of the fjord simply fill in great ravines, in reality, the glaciers tumble down toward the water over steep hillsides like frozen waterfalls.
