A tabular Iceberg in front of the Greenlandic settlement of Tasiilaq on south eastern Greenland. Settlements on Greenland exist around the coastline because the interior is an ice sheet of thick ice. Few communities are connected by road, the longest distance you can travel by car in Tasiilaq is just 3 kilometres. The small town is a popular starting point for adventure travel on Greenland due to its proximity to an international airport. It’s also a favoured connection point for glaciologists working on some of the glaciers in the region, that will calve icebergs like this one.
