Ilulissat Icefjord

Fjords

A fjord on Greenland's west coast fed by one of the fastest-moving and most productive glaciers outside Antarctica, the Sermeq Kujalleq. Enormous icebergs calved from the glacier drift through the fjord toward the open sea, a process studied closely for what it reveals about ice sheet melt.
