The easiest place to see the Greenland iceshield is on an excursion from Kangerlussuaq along an increasingly rough 35km long gravel road. Kangerlussuaq itself lies at the end of a 163km long fjord and is Greenland's furthest inland settlement with dry, extreme continenal climate (down to -45°C in winter and up to+25°C in summer).
Die einfachste Möglichkeit, das grönländische Inlandeis zu sehen, ist eine Exkursion von Kangerlussuaq entlang einer zunehmend holprigen, 35km langen Schotterpiste. Kangerlussuaq selbst liegt am Ende eines 163km langen Fjords und ist damit die am weitesten im Binnenland gelegene Siedlung Grönlands. Es herrscht ein trockenes, extremes Kontinentalklima mit Temperaturen bis zu +25°C im Sommer und bis zu -45°C im Winter.
A beautiful image, Gudrun, but the worldwide rate of glacial melt due to climate change is horrifying. We have to hope that governments (not least mine) come to realise the need for action.
An impressive image, full of amazing detail, especially when viewed large. Very well composed and taken Gudrun.
Combine the photo with the information in the link though............and things look very serious indeed...........when will the powers-that-be across the world wake up to the danger of climate change and actually DO something about it except talk and make empty promises?

Once travelled to USA over Greenland, and it simply looked amazing.
