Zodiac Tour of Kangerluq Fjord
The day ended after a visit to Kangerluq Fjord, a massive body of ice flowing over the landscape into a deep fjord. The Kangerluq Glacier descends from the interior of the Greenlandic ice cap and, despite its vast size, is much smaller than it was a mere twenty years ago. A few decades ago, the ship would not have been able to visit the same location; the glacier would have occupied the same space as the ship's anchorage. Kangerluq Fjord stands witness to the changes caused by global warming, a gouged landscape scarred and torn by massive glacial forces that are no longer present. Stained with iron ore deposits, broken up by massive volcanic intrusions, carved and polished by glaciers, wind and waves, today, Seabourn Venture visited the past.
