Congratulate all Frenchmen.

Fjortende Julibreen and Fjortende Julibukta named after the National Day of France

There is no illusion, it just looks that way.

Merci beaucoup, thanks a lot... :-) Surprising that name for the glacier ? Let's hope that it will survive and that global warming will slow down !

This is great. I haven't seen a glacier in ages ... and it is a rare Francophile Glacier at that!  In California, we have some glaciers way up in the mountains, but between global warming and our four year drought, they are vanishing, rapidly.
