hey man....I'll try and answer that as best I can.......a "pingo" is born and also dies.....it starts as a small lense of ice close to surface level, and then as a result of the specific above and below ground environmental conditions....grows. There a university perfessor at UVic that has studied these things for I think like 50 years. He's the "pingo guru"....at least as far as my network goes. so they are born, and grow large (some larger than others) and then die and collapse again....very cool feature at ground level, they are often used as excellent denning sites for grizzly and arctic fox. I have found dens of each on either side of the structure. and the neatest things is the ecosystem structure change from the base to the top.....they are all wetland/sedges and standing water at the base, to a mountain/alpine/tundra at the top....the exposure to wind and weather, brutal temperature and moisture regimes.....its absolutely like you walk from one ecosystem into another in the ascent to the top. Funny enough, they are considered such sensitive features and susecptible to damage that each and every one of them wherever they are (in Canada) are protected and you need permission to go walk on them! hahahahahaha....anyhow....yea the pic was taken from a helicopter.....I've added a couple of others from the same part of that trip.....cheers and ENJOY! :blsmoke:
