The Jakobshavns Isbrae (Jakobshaven Ice Stream) has calved these icebergs into the waters of the Jakobshavns Isfjord (“Ice Fjord”).
The bergs are melting into the North Atlantic Ocean as they float through Disko Bay and continue out to sea. The Jakobshavn is responsible for putting more ice into the global ocean than any other glacier in the northern hemisphere. The iceberg that sank the “Titanic” probably originated here. For some bergs it can take a full year to travel the 50 km down the fjord before they reach the bay.
