Two shore pingoes at Tuktoyaktuk Airstrip, Northwest territories, Canada. A stationary helicopter, with a jeep next to it, is in the middle ground on the airstrip. A view of the tail of a second helicopter is on the right hand side. Shore pingoes (described by the photographer in his autobiography as caused by expanding ice lifting the soil) are in the background.
