Meltwater Lake on Iceberg in Greenland
Surface meltwater creates a tiny pool in the summer heat, held captive on the surface of a tabular berg, which floats on Kane Basin. Meltwater pools, shallower and containing no salt, look blue against the greens of the deeper salt-water fjord. This berg is calved from Humboldt glacier, the widest glacier in the northern hemisphere, it has a front of 110 kilometers across.

Glaciology Research in Western Greenland
In summer 2009, the MY Arctic Sunrise sails to the Arctic to document the dire effects climate change has on one of the most fragile environments in the world. Independent scientists use the ship, helicopter, boats and assistance of the crew, to collect data and research the impacts of climate change. During this first section of the three-part tour, scientists conduct important glaciology research on Petermann and Humboldt glaciers in Western Greenland.
