Penny Ice Cap, Auyuittuq National Park

The Penny Ice Cap, formerly Penny Icecap, is a 6,000 km² ice cap in Auyuittuq National Park of Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. It forms a 2,000 m high barrier on the Cumberland Peninsula, an area of deep fjords and glaciated valleys. It is a remnant of the last ice age. During the mid-1990s, Canadian researchers studied the glacier's patterns of freezing and thawing over centuries by drilling ice core samples. ()
