Illulissat glacier, Greenland
Icebergs calved by a gigantic glacier (70 km upstream) come down the fjord near Illulissat in the Baffin sea, but due to the weak bathymetry (250 m, however) they are stuck and slowly melt awaiting for starting a long trip toward North Atlantic. It is noticeable that in 15 years the glacier has flewed backward of 30 km because of the climate warming. It is time to take decisions !
