A helicopter provided by Greenpeace facilitates access to the debris strewn fjord, which is impossible to access by boat. The Arctic Sunrise and her crew, are facilitating the field work of oceanographers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, in order to calculate the impact of ocean warming on east Greenland's outlet glaciers.Locations:Eastern Greenland-North AmericaDate:22 Aug, 2009Credit:© Nick Cobbing / GreenpeaceMaximum size:2912px X 4368pxKeywords:Climate (campaign title)-Climate change impacts-Cold-Day-Fjords-Helicopters-Ice-KWCI (GPI)-Men-One person-Outdoors-Research-Science-ScientistsShoot:Glaciology Research in Eastern 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 second section of the three-part tour, scientists conduct important glaciology research in Eastern Greenland, on Helheim and Kangerdlugsuaq glaciers and their fjords. The team then transits north to work on the Nioghalvfjerdsfjorde Glacier (known as '79 Glacier.')Related Collections:Best of Arctic Impacts ExpeditionArctic Work Presented at 'Arctic Frontiers' Conference in Norway (Best of)
