Rib-and-Trough Structures around a till-covered island

This image, taken from about 300m altitude, shows classic Rib-and-Trough structures adjacent to till-covered surfaces. Some strudel holes can also be seen in the fine-grained organic-rich lake sediment just off shore from the ribs. See 0047 and 0120 for further discussion.
