Crossing the Northwest Passage through Greenland
August 28, 2013 - Disko Bay, Greenland: A cargo ship sailing Disko bay with floating icebergs. Since winning his second term as president of the United States in November 2024, Donald Trump has been publicly stating his interest for the United States to annex the ice-covered Danish territory of Greenland, the largest island in the world. Sliding like a snake thru the ices of the North, the Northwest Passage has been considered a deadly trap for years. Today, the Compagnie du Ponant, a French cruise ship operator, navigates it from Greenland to Russia, with its luxury ship Le Soleal. Navigators have been exploring this wonderful shortcut to the Orient for over 500 years. Ice, and wind froze most of the expeditions. In 1847, John Franklin disappeared in the Passage somewhere near Victoria Strait. As expeditions were sent to look for Franklinís body, the Passage ended up being mapped. In 1906, Amundsen finally sailed thru. Over the years, the Wild West was being civilized, and the Far North became Americaís final frontier, the ultimate space for human progress. Global warming melted the ice by the years 2000, and the Passage turned navigable from summer to fall. Some predict it will be navigable all year in 2020. The opening of the Passage raises considerable strategic and economic questions. The shortest route to Asia, will bring strong competition to the Panama and Suez canals. Since the 1960s, oil has been discovered in Alaska. The Arctic could also be a precious reservoir of gas and zinc. Therefore the Passage is coveted by Denmark, Russia, USA, CanadaÖ and the tourism industry. Until now, most visitors would board a Russian icebreaker to embark on a trip that looked more like an expedition than a cruise. But slowly, the Northwest Passage will become the equivalent of the long highways going thru Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon, with a landscape of icebergs and Inuit hunters as the last Indians.

FEATURE - Eisberge in Grönland
On the west coast of Greenland, 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, in the disko bay many icebergs drift into the fjord and gradually melt into the ocean. These icebergs come from Jakobshavn Glacier Glacier (Sermeq Kujalleq in Greenlandic) listed as World Heritage Site since 2004. The glacier is one of the largest iceberg in the northern hemisphere suppliers. . This results in an annual production of 20 billion tonnes of icebergs (which represents the amount of fresh water used annually in France).

On the picture a calving event in front of equi glacier.
The Eqi Glacier in west Greenland, which ends in the fiord 80 kilometres north of Ilulissat. It is possible by boat to get very close to the glacier and experience huge pieces of ice breaking off. The sounds are enormous and the sight of the icebergs, crashing into the water, is breathtaking.
Eqip Sermia, an ocean-terminating glacier, shows lots calving of iceberg. In some cases, these calving events can cause tsunami waves, generally these tsunami are moderate, but in some case big events can occur, during the collapse of a 200m high ice cliff caused a tsunami wave of 50m heights.

Rodebay (Oqaatsut in greenlandic means the cormorants) is a north west Greenland village with a direct view to icebergs in Disko Bay. It sits 21 km north of Ilulissat..This village was called Rodebay by the Dutch whalers back in the 18th century, who named the trading post probably after the colour of the sea in the bay after a whale was killed. Village life in Oqaatsut is about sustaining a small community that loves to be close to the sea. The few houses are scattered across a rocky terrain yet never very far from the harbor.
