Icy waters in Greenland

This Envisat image, acquired on 21 July 2011, shows part of Greenland’s west coast – home to one of the fastest and most active glaciers in the world, Sermeq Kujalleq. At the centre of the image the glacier’s sea mouth is visible: the Ilulissat fjord, with icebergs bursting out from it and speckling the surrounding waters.
