Icebergs in Disko Bay

Disko Bay: Here Kangia icebergs drift in the Atlantic

Disko Bay, the bay that separates Disko Island from the coastal town of Ilulissat on Greenland’s west coast. Icebergs drift out of the ice fjord (Kangia) into the open sea before heading northwards with the current. Although the blue of the huge ice masses is of captivating beauty, here are some black and white photos!

Greenland – Sundowner with icebergs

Huge icebergs break off the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier and drift on the Kangia Icefjord towards Disko Bay. Since the bottom at the mouth of the Kangia is higher than the river bed, the icebergs, which are often the size of several cruise ships, do not make it into Disko Bay. Then they bob around there until they have melted enough to allow themselves to be drifted from there into the Disko Bay. Then they begin their journey north along the Greenland coast. At some point, currents and winds pull them west and the largest even make it along the Canadian east coast to the USA.

On a boat trip late evening there were good opportunities to take sundowner photos.

Icebergs

On its southern boarder, the town of Iulissat touches the Kangia icefjord,. The glacier Sermeq Kujalleq calving into Kangia some 40 km inland, we had marvellous views of those giant icebergs drifting out to the sea in May 2017.
