As part of an ongoing travel project with “A Brit and a Broad”, a now defunct travel duo, we got the opportunity to visit Greenland through Tourism Greenland in 2015. This is still one of the highlights of my travel life. While Iceland is usually on people’s list officially, Greenland often goes under the radar and in my opinion, is relatively untraveled because of it.
Icebergs come across more and more striking now as ever after seeing and hearing them up close. In 2015 when we visited Nuuk (Greenland’s capital) in the summer, we were told that Greenlanders weren’t worried of the effects of global warming. Since we left, I’ve heard chilling reports of sea level rise, rain for the first time in the ice sheet’s history, and overfishing salmon in the arctic.
And there’s a chance that future generations won’t even know what an iceberg is, or be able to see them. They’re disapearing THAT quickly. As the ice sheet is melting, these floating monoliths are disapearing one by one. These images are meant to preserve the mere sight of them, as they were in that moment, never to be seen that way again.
