Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise at the Petermann & Humboldt Glacier in northern Greenland

Awesome, must-see photos taken by members of the researchers on the Greenpeace ship, Arctic Sunrise, up in the Nares Strait off the Petermann and Humboldt Glaciers which together account for 10% of the outflow of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Or, photo number 12 of the Humboldt Glacier:

Humboldt Glacier, which calves bergs into the Kane Basin in northern Greenland, is the widest glacier in the Northern Hemisphere, and measures 110 km across its face. The two glaciers that are both being studied by Greenpeace -- Humboldt and Petermann -- drain most of the ice from the northwestern part of the Greenland ice sheet. Between them, the two glaciers are responsible for 10% of the total ice drained from the Greenland ice sheet. Photograph: Nick Cobbing/Greenpeace
