Ilulissat Icefjord

by Gerald Wetzel, Karlsruhe Institute ofTechnology, Karlsruhe, Germany

This photo was taken at the sea mouth of Ilulissat Icefjord and Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea. Sermeq Kujalleq is one of the fastest (19 m per day) and most productive ice calving glaciers in the world.
