South Greenland nunataks

Nunataks of far south Greenland.  The word "nunatak" is of Greenlandic origin, and denotes isolated mountains entirely surrounded by glacial ice.  It is one of a very few Greenlandic words that are used and/or are familiar to the world outside of Greenland.  Others include "nanook" (polar bear) and "mukluk" (snow boots).
