伊卢利萨特冰湾

格陵兰的伊卢利萨特冰湾（40 240公顷）位于格陵兰岛西岸，北极圈以北250公里，是少数几个通过格陵兰冰冠入海的冰河之一瑟梅哥－库雅雷哥(Sermeq Kujalleq)的出海口。瑟梅哥－库雅雷哥是世界上流速最快（每天19米），也是最活跃的冰川之一，每年裂冰超过35立方公里，占格陵兰岛裂冰的10%，比南极洲以外的任何其他冰河都多。人们对这条冰湾的研究超过250年，冰湾有利于我们对气候变化和冰河学的了解。巨大的冰盖，加上冰流迅速移动，在冰山覆盖的峡湾内崩裂发出的巨响，形成了令人敬畏的自然现象。

Located on the west coast of Greenland, 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord (40,240 ha) is the sea mouth of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the few glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea. Sermeq Kujalleq is one of the fastest (19 m per day) and most active glaciers in the world. It annually calves over 35 km3 of ice, i.e. 10% of the production of all Greenland calf ice and more than any other glacier outside Antarctica. Studied for over 250 years, it has helped to develop our understanding of climate change and icecap glaciology. The combination of a huge ice-sheet and the dramatic sounds of a fast-moving glacial ice-stream calving into a fjord covered by icebergs makes for a dramatic and awe-inspiring natural phenomenon.
