Ilulissat Icefjord - Ilulissat, Greenland

This camera looks out over the Ilulissat Icefjord on the west coast of Greenland, where a constant procession of icebergs calved from Sermeq Kujalleq glacier drift slowly into Disko Bay. The feed captures the extraordinary scale of the ice, with bergs ranging from small floating chunks to structures the size of buildings, all set against the open Arctic ocean and sky.

Sermeq Kujalleq is one of the most productive glaciers on earth, generating around 35 billion tons of ice every year. The icebergs it produces are so large and numerous that the fjord was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004, recognised for both its outstanding natural beauty and its importance to glaciological science.

During summer, the midnight sun means the camera captures continuous daylight around the clock, with the low golden light catching the ice at angles that shift its colour from brilliant white through to deep translucent blue. In winter the scene changes completely, with polar darkness and occasional aurora replacing the endless Arctic day.

Did You Know? It is widely believed that the iceberg which sank the Titanic in April 1912 originated from Sermeq Kujalleq. Given the glacier's output and the typical drift patterns of Greenlandic icebergs southward into the North Atlantic shipping lanes, the timing and location of the collision make this fjord the most likely source.
