Grid Lines in Greenland??

Submitted by ring_wraith on Sat, 05/10/2014 - 05:25.

My friend, who was flying over Greenland recently took this picture from the window of her aircraft:

I've sent it through to an old friend who is a Dr of geography. He may be able tio throw some light on the matter.

I suspect an illusion of some kind. The lines are straight, but the topography would be mountainous, so the lines should not appear straight, which leads me to suspect that the lines are not actually on the ground.
