Polar Investigations: Arctic - Ilulissat Greenland
In August 2014 I traveled to the 69th latitude on Greenland’s west coast to Ilulissat Glacier. It is one of the most prolific and fast-moving ones in Greenland. Since 2000, Greenland’s ice sheet (covering over 80 % of its surface) has lost some 739 gigatons of ice - melting at an unprecedented rate. The broad moving 37 mile long mélange of ice in Ilulissat fjord was breathtaking, from the edge and from the air. I sailed 5 hours north to Glacier Eqi Sermia through early morning fog with breathtaking icebergs. At 1PM we anchored in front of a 2.5 mile long glacier front to witness a thunderous calving performance.
