One of the cracks in the glacier is visible in the frame. The images from the two cameras, will be stitched together to make a panoramic image. The cliffs at 980 metres high (3,000 feet) provide an ideal vantage point to monitor the glacier. The installation of the time lapse cameras is a joint initiative between Greenpeace and Extreme Ice Survey (EIS). It is hoped that the remote cameras will give a clear picture of the process by which the glacier breaks and how parts of it drift out to sea. A team of scientists assisted by experts in ice logistics, intend to document the glacier's ongoing disintegration. Recent satellite images show that an expanse larger than New York's Manhattan island is ready to break off from Petermann Glacier.Locations:North America-Petermann Glacier-Western GreenlandDate:1 Jul, 2009Credit:© Nick Cobbing / GreenpeaceLatitude:81°8'49"NMaximum size:5616px X 3744pxLongitude61°22'31"WKeywords:Camera equipment-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Equipment-Glacier melt-Glaciers-Ice-Icescapes-One person-Outdoors-Research-Science-ScientistsShoot: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:Best of Arctic Impacts ExpeditionArctic Tour 2009 (Photo & Videos)Petermann Glacier in Greenland
