Here's an example (western Greenland in October from 37000' slightly north of Godthaab):
I slogged through most of the controls in Lightroom's beta 4 (temp raised to 7000, strong contrast, tint +25 or so, tilted 3 degrees left, some further darkening of shadows, lightening of highlights, and a few more sliders that I have now forgotten), then shipped to PSCS1 for editing, finally saved it as a JPG, then resized and sharpened slightly in IrfanView. I'm sure there could be a more pleasing result, and probably a much quicker path. I'm happy to make the .dng original raw file available at www.cs.huji.ac.il/~kirk/testfiles/RIMG0614.DNG to anyone who can do it differently.
Historical note -- airlifting bombers to Britain in WWII, one flew low over the icebergs to Greenland from Goose Bay or Gander, homed in on a radio beacon at the coast, and then made a fast decision which of three fjords to enter (that is, if all three were visible). The middle one was the correct one, and "Bluie West One," now Godthaab, lay 20 miles or so further east, just before the ice fields begin. There was no exit from the two wrong fjords. I think this is the northern wrong fjord. It all looks simple from 37000'.
