Four glaciers are each around 2 miles ( 3.2 kilometers ) long and around 2,000 feet ( 600 meters ) wide on average.
They are located along the northern ridge of the Oobloyah Valley at the heart of Ellesmere Island , Canada .
The area receives less than 2.5 inches ( 6.4 centimeters ) of precipitation each year , making it a polar desert.
Melting water from the glaciers provides enough moisture to sustain a sparse covering of resilient vegetation.
