Photos of Greenland

Pictured is the calving front of Kangerdlugssup Glacier in central west Greenland, where large chunks of ice break off from the glaciers to form icebergs. Several large icebergs in the fjord are shown here, surrounded by the dense mixture of iceberg bits and floating sea ice that is known as the “mélange.” Credit: NASA/Michael Studinger.
