Each summer the Greenland icesheet calves massive amounts of ice into the Davis Strait. As the icebergs move thousands of kilometers southward into the North Atlantic, many are diverted by wind and weather into Cumberland and Frobisher bays. A rare few find themselves in the strait between Broughton and Baffin island.
This image was captured on the beach in Qikiqtarjuaq, looking west across the strait to a mist enshrouded arctic summer sunset.
