Tunulliarfik Fjord. The images have been pan-sharpened to bring out more detail. At the time, the fjord’s waters were capped with a layer of sea ice. Atop the ice there are several long, straight lines connecting the towns of Narsarsuaq and Qassiarsuk, and running the length of the fjord. Their consensus was that many of the tracks, especially those that include loops, were likely produced by vehicles, such as snowmobiles. “It seems likely that residents from the town or nearby were out on the ice, possibly hunting or traveling, “ Kurtz said. Traversing the frozen fjord with a vehicle would make sense given its size. The track that connects the small towns of Qassiarsuk and Narsarsuaq, visible in the first detailed image above, spans about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles). The track that runs the length of the fjord is at least 20 kilometers (12 miles) long.
