  • The Ilulissat Icefjord runs west 40 km (25 mi) from the Greenland ice sheet to Disko Bay just south of Ilulissat town. At the eastern end of the fjord the Jakobshavn Glacier is formed at the edge of the Greenland ice sheet. The glacier is the most productive glacier in the Northern Hemisphere and flows at a rate of 20-35 m (66-115 ft) per day, resulting in around 20 billion tonnes of icebergs calved off and passing out of the fjord every year. The seafloor rises at the mouth of the fjord causing the bergs to 'stick'.
    It is considered by many that this is where the iceberg that collided with RMS Titanic was calved.
    It is a wonderful sight, which I why I have posted a lot of videos. You don't need to watch them all!
