Sermilik Fjord in Greenland
An aerial view of Sermilik Fjord showing the debris calved from glaciers like Helheim. Scientists onboard Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise are collecting data from 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.

Glaciology Research in Eastern Greenland
In 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.')
