SCENE 04 / 04 · ICE
SERMEQKUJALLEQ
[ 01 ] THE PLACE
Sermeq Kujalleq, also known as Jakobshavn Isbræ, is one of the fastest-flowing glaciers in the world. It drains a large part of the Greenland ice sheet into the Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
At its front the ice breaks into bergs and a packed mélange that fills the fjord. The calving front has retreated kilometres upstream since the early 2000s; we image it at the same local time on every pass, so a change is the ice and not the light.
