Qooroq Ice Fjord

The next stop was the village of Narsarsuaq, there isn't much to the village - a former US Air Base with a population of around 160. But I had a wander about and was lucky to spot an Arctic hare.

The real attraction of Narsarsuaq is the nearby Qooroq Ice Fjord, so I took the short boat trip out to the fjord for a close-up encounter with icebergs. The icebergs calve from the Qooroq glacier, which releases over 200,000 tons of ice into the fjord every day. The icebergs are a beautiful sight towering out of the water along with the white and blue ice and turquoise water. Amazing to think how much bigger they are under the water as well!Read more
