Greenland - Icebergs and packed ice

October 01, 2007 - Permalink - No comments

While cruising in the Greenland inlets (like scoresby sund) we encountered numerous icebergs ans packed ice.

The ice was faschinating and of a virgin beauty.
Although icebergs do melt faster away than before due to global warming, it still can take ten's of years before it has been melted completely.

One can experience the ice giants the best with the small zodiacs underneath. Altough it can be dangerous when an iceberg or part of it callepses, the feeling is one of the most fascinating i ever experienced.

Greeenland cruises have to occur from the middele of August to the end of September. All the other periods of the year the sea is frozen.

I can really suggest this cruise to everyone who likes the nature and want to feel a little bit like the early ecplorers did.
