 Northern Greenland as seen from 33,000 feet above from a Canadian Airlines DC-10  on it's way to Vancouver on July 15th, 1995.

 You see it in all forms, icebergs, glaciers and inland ice, which in all their might and power tower 
 high and make everything around them seem so small. Standing in a line, steep, unapproachable 
 and majestic. 
 

Stranded icebergs. A fisher boat taking tourists for a trip. Broken pieces of ice. Icebergs near Ilulissat/Jakobshavn.
  Cruising the ice fjord near Ilulissat/Jakobshavn one evening in late July, 1996.

  Innumerable glacier tongues calving enormous icebergs in fantastic colors, shapes and forms. 
  They are almost motionless, resting here like giant ice mammoths. Elegant, yet terrifying at the 
  same time. If you stand close by, the size is overwhelming.

Changing colours. Huge iceberg in the evening sun. Mountains of ice. Midnight sun.
  More pictures from an evening cruise through the ice fjord. For more information see Ilulissat Tourist Service.

 They rise as tall as huge towers over the boats. The rays of the sun split, reflecting every shade 
 known to man: Blue, white, turquoise and, in all places, nearly crystal-clear.
