Iceberg with shadow face, Hall Bredning, Scoresby Sund, Greenland
Scoresby Sound (Scoresby Sund) is a large fjord system on the eastern coast of Greenland. Except for a small population of Inuit near the mouth of the fjord system at Ittoqqortoormiit, it is uninhabited. Warm water polynyas near its mouth help to support a diverse systems of flora and fauna, unusual for the Arctic. Many mountains, valleys and glaciers dot the fjords, giving rise to a spectacular collection of icebergs. The 3-masted schooner Rembrandt van Rijn does a several day tour of the spectacular features of Scoresby Sund.
