HIGH POINT OF GREENLAND

Ilulissat Icefjord is a UNESCO World Heritage site located on the west coast of Greenland, known for its dramatic landscape and active glacier. The fjord is where the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier one of the fastest and most productive glaciers in the world, calves ice into the sea. This calving process results in massive icebergs that fill the fjord, making it a spectacular sight.

Located on the west coast of Greenland, 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord is the sea mouth of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the few glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea.  

The Greenland ice cap is the only remnant in the Northern Hemisphere of the continental ice sheets from the Quaternary Ice Age. The oldest ice is estimated to be 250,000 years old, and provides detailed information on past climatic changes and atmospheric conditions from 250,000 to around 11,550 years ago, when climate became more stable
