Spruce forest atop the Malaspina Glacier, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.
The spruce forest near the Malaspina Glacier is actually ON the Malaspina Glacier. Evident here is the spruce trees growing on ice; barely a 12″ layer of soil sits beneath the surface of the ground and the ice of the glacier.
