- Reason
- This photo shows a blue-ice area with the characteristic, wind-scoured blue ice ... except for the meteorite, a common find in such blue-ice areas, and its lee where normal snow has accumulated. It's a large image that seems to be of good quality.

- Jo-Jo Eumerus, the "creator" field is for image authors/creators/photographers and such, not uploaders. I fixed it. Bammesk (talk) 01:39, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose Random image to illustrate this article. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:14, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Uh - what is random about it? There are blue-ice areas in the Miller Range Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:35, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- It illustrates a meteorite nicely, but doesn't add specific EV to enhance the knowledge of the blue-ice phenomenon itself. It would add lots of EV to the Meteorite article, but it's not there. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:16, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- On the meteorite article all it would add is a black rock in ice. Volcanic bombs and erratic blocks can sometimes also look like this...when they are in wind-scoured ice, that is. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:09, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: The Flickr image description lists Nina Lanza in the image credit rather than Cindy Evans. Ras67, could you check? --Paul_012 (talk) 23:23, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- I took the liberty of changing the image credit per the source link. Hope that's Ok. Bammesk (talk) 01:03, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- You know, did Nina Lanza work for NASA when she made the photo? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:45, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Nina Lanza's CV [1] says she was working for the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a government agency. The nom image is published by NASA though. The flickr source [2] says the CC license is "non-commercial". I don't think Commons considers "non-commercial" claims to be valid in case of photos published by U.S. government agencies.

CommentOppose – With lighting behind the subject, it's a black blob in the snow. – Sca (talk) 15:09, 21 January 2024 (UTC)- The meteorite isn't the subject, though. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:45, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
