Iceberg in Pakitsoq Fjord System with Nuussuaq Peninsula in background, Oqaatsut, Avannaata, Greenland, Denmark
An iceberg or ice mountain is a large piece of freshwater ice that has broken off a glacier or an ice shelf and is floating freely in open water. It may subsequently become frozen into pack ice (one form of sea ice). As it drifts into shallower waters, it may come into contact with the seabed, a process referred to as seabed gouging by ice. About 90% of an iceberg is below the surface of the water

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of an iceberg in Pakitsoq Fjord System, with the majestic Nuussuaq Peninsula standing tall in the background. The serene waters surrounding Oqaatsut, Avannaata, Greenland provide a stunning canvas for this natural masterpiece. An iceberg, also known as an ice mountain, is a magnificent formation that originates from glaciers or ice shelves. This particular iceberg has broken free and now floats freely in open water. Its massive size and striking presence serve as a reminder of nature's raw power and grandeur. As it drifts through the open sea, this iceberg may encounter shallower waters where it can come into contact with the seabed. This interaction between ice and seabed is known as seabed gouging by ice—a fascinating process that shapes both landforms beneath the surface and the visible structure above. It is worth noting that only about 10% of an iceberg's mass is visible above water; its true magnitude lies hidden beneath the surface. This fact adds to their mystique and allure. Danita Delimont's expertly captured photograph showcases not only the sheer magnificence of this icy wonder but also highlights Greenland's breathtaking landscapes. With its pristine blue hues contrasting against rugged cliffs and snow-capped peaks, this image invites viewers to immerse themselves in nature's splendor.
