Icebreaker Party (Greenland)
by Silvia Favaro, Università Milano Bicocca, Milano, Italy
Marine-terminating Greenland outlet glaciers are retreating and melting 100 times faster than expected leaving glacier carved canyons (fjords) flooded by seawater and meltwater. The photo was taken in July and the sea-ice is breaking forming this blocky pattern.
