Scientists onboard the MY Arctic Sunrise are collecting data from the 'ice ocean interface' in Sermilik Fjord (at Helheim glacier). This glacier, found by glaciologists to be rapidly accelerating, is central in the rapid and unpredicted (ice) 'mass loss' that Greenland has been experiencing in recent years.Locations:Eastern Greenland-Helheim Glacier-North America-Sermilik FjordDate:21 Aug, 2009Credit:© Nick Cobbing / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5616px X 3744pxKeywords:Aerial view-Climate (campaign title)-Climate change impacts-Cold-Day-Fjords-Glacier melt-Glaciers-Ice-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.')
