It is likely that this unusual feature started life as an englacial channel within the Humboldt glacier that it has calved from. Englacial channels carry melt-water from the surface of the glacier down to the bed-rock underneath. Because icebergs turn in the water the feature may also have been part of a moulin - a vertical channel draining into the glacier. This berg was observed to drift to and fro across Kane Basin for some weeks, at different times, grounding on the sea bed, on both the North and South sides.Locations:Greenland-Kane Basin-North America-Western GreenlandDate:29 Jul, 2009Credit:© Nick Cobbing / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3744px X 5616pxKeywords:Beauty-Climate (campaign title)-Copy space-Day-Ice-Icebergs-Icescapes-KWCI (GPI)-Nature-Outdoors-ScenicShoot:Glaciology Research in Western GreenlandIn summer 2009, the MY Arctic Sunrise sails to the Arctic to document the dire effects climate change has on one of the most fragile environments in the world. Independent scientists use the ship, helicopter, boats and assistance of the crew, to collect data and research the impacts of climate change. During this first section of the three-part tour, scientists conduct important glaciology research on Petermann and Humboldt glaciers in Western Greenland.Related Collections:Arctic Tour 2009 (Photo & Videos)
