The massive permanent ice sheet that covers most of the huge island of Greenland disgorges giant swathes of ice which inch towards the fjords and sea in hundreds of mammoth glaciers. Not surprising then that we encountered such a graveyard of giant discarded bits of glacier.
I’ll leave you to browse ..... enjoy!
This reminded me of a giant harp - from this angle. It was a bit like looking for shapes in clouds.
I just love the colour contrast.
I think heaven might look like this - if it had icebergs!
The Big M. It was mammoth
The other side of the Big M. We spent some time hovering around here as the cracks and grumbles reverberating around us indicated that something was about to happen. And it did - as we were leaving a huge chunk of the face of a neighbouring iceberg crashed into the sea setting off a big wave and shrieks! It was so thrilling.
A triple arched beauty
A pale aqua berg and a tip of a rocky hill seen through this ice arch.
Admittedly our ship was a fair way away but it was dwarfed by the icebergs nevertheless.
This is a favourite. It was one of those sublime moment for me - the contrasts of rock and ice, and the colours! The land on the left just happened to be called Rode or Red Island - it really was deep red. Glorious!
Perfect - craggy rocks with ice and water
Giant golf ball. This stippling is caused by air bubbles popping. First a tiny indentation is left where an air bubble bursts, then water gets to it and gradually it enlarges.
