This glacier produces a staggering 35 billion tons of ice annually, creating colossal icebergs that drift into the ocean. Some of these icebergs are so massive they can take years to melt, and it’s believed that one may have even been the iceberg that sank the Titanic! What makes the Icefjord truly awe-inspiring is its dynamic landscape—icebergs cracking, shifting, and shimmering under the Arctic light, with colors ranging from bright white to deep, translucent blues. ------ Marine Life You Might Spot: The rich, cold waters around Ilulissat are teeming with Arctic wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for: Whales: Humpback, minke, and fin whales are commonly seen, especially in the summer months. Seals: You might spot ringed seals and harp seals resting on the ice or swimming gracefully in the water. Birdlife: Look out for Arctic terns, gulls, fulmars, and other seabirds soaring above the waves. Occasional Surprises: Polar bears are rare in this area, but sometimes venture onto drifting ice floes. ------ How you can help!
