ICE & SNOW
ICE & SNOW
Ice is synonymous with Greenland. The mountains of ice are just as wonderful as they are strange. The work of giving birth to the ice sheet creaks and roars in the silence. The ice flows like autonomous mountains as high as castles with kilometre deep cellars below the water surface. This amazing floating island kingdom sparkles of white, blue and turquoise.
To experience the ice sheet is a meeting with history that stretches
back several hundred thousand years. Impossible to comprehend and a
celestial experience to witness. The thick ice, which on average is
over a kilometre thick, has such great power that it presses the
bedrock hundreds of metres below. Nature is really at play here.
In the ice fjord at Ilulissat there is the most productive glacier
in the northern hemisphere. Every day the glacier delivers about 100
million tons of ice in fantastic shapes and colours that take their
last journey to the river opening out towards the sea.
Get up close. See the colours change before your eyes with the sun's
reflection and enjoy the sight of ice and mountains that unaided and
leisurely choose their own waterways.
