Studies of Columbia Glacier. Superimposed portions of vertical aerial photos illustrating the photograph-overlay method. The two photos, taken on September 26 and November 15, 1981, are displaced about 190 m in the north-south direction. Note that in an area between the two arrows the image appears sharp, whereas above and below that, the image area appears doubled and confused. The sharp area marks a zone of constant displacement (velocity). North is to the top, and flow is from top to bottom. This area of the glacier is about 950 m wide and is located near the center of the glacier at approx. 64.4 km. The vertical dark band is a streak of debris on the ice (medial moraine).
