Aerial view of the south western part of Disko Island, Greenland (Greenlandic: Qeqertarsuaq, Danish: Diskoøen).
The island is the 84th largest island in the world, covering an area of 8,612km² (3,325 sq miles).
(As a point of reference, Corsica is the 83rd largest island and Crete is the 88th largest)
Located on the west coast of Greenland, 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord is the sea mouth of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the few glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea. Sermeq Kujalleq is one of the fastest (19 m per day) and most active glaciers in the world. It annually calves over 35 km3 of ice, i.e. 10% of the production of all Greenland calf ice and more than any other glacier outside Antarctica. At the end of the icefjord the icebergs run aground on a terminal moraine at a depth of 2-300m and get pushed out into Disko Bay by an interplay of tidal forces and more icebergs being produced and pushing out others that are blocking off the exit at the point shown in the picture.
While taking an iceberg cruise from Ilulisat, I was amazed at how dramatically the sky changed. Looking back towards land, the sky was relatively clear and blue. Looking out further into Disko Bay however, there was this incredibly rich, rippling cloud formation.
As the boat cruised through the icebergs, there's a never-ending assortment of angles to shoot the icebergs from. It's of course extremely cold outside, and with wind, you definitely can feel the effects, but I was in the zone, shooting away. There was a small indoor compartment with hot tea and coffee, but I went in there for a total of about 2mins throughout the entire cruise as I was pretty dead-set on maximizing out on my photo opportunities. Definitely having gloves on hand, along with cold weather headwear like a hat or balaclava, was incredibly useful. I would have had to spend more time inside without them.
dass die dinge die uns einmal fast schon frösteln machen vor glückseligkeit
uns schon nach kurzer zeit nur kaum mehr noch berühren selbst dann noch
wenn wir spüren dass wir letztlich danach jagen immer wieder 'ja' zu sagen
eben weil wir darum wissen, dass wir schnell genug vermissen was uns damals wichtig war
und es wird uns klar dass alles gut ist wie es ist, dass alles gut ist wie es ist,
dass dieser Stumpfsinn heilsam ist
