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.Locations:Greenland-Kane Basin-North America-Western GreenlandDate:30 Jul, 2009Credit:© Nick Cobbing / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5616px X 3744pxKeywords:Aerial view-Beauty-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Icebergs-Icescapes-KWCI (GPI)-Lakes-Melting-Nature-OutdoorsShoot:Glaciology Research in Western GreenlandIn 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.Related Collections:Arctic Tour 2009 (Photo & Videos)
