Helheim shows alarming signs of increased melt and flow rate. Greenpeace is in the Arctic, assisting scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute who are studying the impacts of climate change on one of the most fragile environments in the world.Locations:Eastern Greenland-Helheim Glacier-North America-Sermilik FjordDate:19 Aug, 2009Credit:© Nick Cobbing / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5616px X 3744pxKeywords:Blue-Climate (campaign title)-Climate change impacts-Cold-Day-Fjords-Ice-Icebergs-Icescapes-KWCI (GPI)-Outdoors-WaterShoot:Glaciology Research in Eastern 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 second section of the three-part tour, scientists conduct important glaciology research in Eastern Greenland, on Helheim and Kangerdlugsuaq glaciers and their fjords. The team then transits north to work on the Nioghalvfjerdsfjorde Glacier (known as '79 Glacier.')Related Collections:Best of Arctic Impacts Expedition
