Racing through Icebergs at Ilulissat in Greenland

            The Ilulissat Icefjord is filled with icebergs that calve from Sermeq Kujalleq, the fastest moving glacier in the world (40 meters daily).

The Ilulissat Icefjord is the same area as 66,000 football fields. It reaches 6 km wide and approximately 55 km long, but it is growing longer as glacier retreat occurs due to climate change.

Sermeq Kujalleq runs directly from the Greenland Ice Cap, and it produces 10% of all Icebergs in Greenland.

The Ilulissat Icefjord became one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2004.
