The Ilulissat glacier in Greenland produces around 20 billion tonnes worth of icebergs each year, making it the most productive glacier in the northern hemisphere. In this video we take a short trip trhough the Ilulissat Icefjord and on to nearby Red Bay.

This time IceScapes.tv brings you a special episode with spectacular scenes from the Ilulissat ice fjord and the Greenland ice cap. These images were filmed during the 2006 Climate Change College, during which 6 students from the UK and the Netherlands ventured into the arctic wilderness to be trained as climate change ambassadors. Based on the experiences and knowledge gathered on several locations in Greenland, they launched various initiatives raising public awareness around the topic of climate change.
In the future we will feature more stories from the Climate Change College. You can read more about the project on www.climatechangecollege.org.
Special thanks to Marc Cornelissen for making this footage available.

In this episode we visit the remote North-Western part of Greenland, where the 2008 Notice Expedition team arrived three weeks early after their South to North crossing of the ice cap. They had planned to be picked up by boat, but because of their early arrival the fjords are still frozen and the boat won’t be able to reach them. Instead, they will now have to find some things to do for a couple of days while waiting for a helicopter to take them to the town of Qaanaaq.

After last week’s boat trip through the fjords of southern Greenland, we go ashore and take a closer look at the ice cap. The ice cap is basically a huge glacier, and as you can see, the outer edges are quite steep, especially when you are trying to drag a couple of heavy expedition sleds up there. This footage was filmed during the 2008 Notice Expedition at their starting point for a south to north crossing of the Greenland ice cap.

We take a boat trip from Narsarssuaq (in the south of Greenland), via Narsaq to Qaleragdlit, following the Bredefjord. This footage was filmed while dropping off the 2008 Notice Expedition at their starting point for a south to north crossing of the Greenland ice cap. In Narsaq they make a short stop for some supplies and police formalities.
