Landscape/Seascape Contest Week #037 - A world of ice
My entry to the @axeman's Landscape/Seascape Photo Contest
The photo was taken outside Illulissat on the west coast of Greenland on a boatrip in the afternoon. Because of the midnight sun the light is almost the same 24 hours a day. Ilulissat is the Inuit name for “icebergs”. A suitable name for a town surrounded by icebergs. The icebergs seen here comes from Kangia Icefjord. Kangia was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage list in 2004. One of the wonders of the world, along with Taj Mahal and the pyramids in Egypt. The glacier that provides all this ice, is the largest glacier on the northern hemisphere. 5 km. wide and 1100 meter thick. It flows an average of 20 meters daily, amounting 20 cubic km. annually or 20 million tons per day – enough to supply New York with water for a year!
