Upernavik，Greenland July 2012.
A tugboat trying to push lcebergs away at the entrance of Upemavik harbor. Every year about 15,000 icebergs detach from the land and especially during summer they can reach up to 40°northand south of latitude. Since their density is just slightly superior to that of water，generally they emerge from sea level only at 15% of their volume，about one-eight their total mass. The biggest icebergs can reach a surface of more than 30,000 sq. km (just to have an idea of the dimensions，the island of Sardinia has a surface of about 24,000 sq. km).In cold waters icebergs can last about four years，but in the temperature rises about 5℃ they can melt in a few days

Canada，July 2012.
Melting ice near Pond Inlet’ canal，reaching Canada’s coast in northern autonomous Nunavut territory.From 2007，ice regularly melts in the canal and other northern territories permitting crossing from the west (Northwest passage) north of Canada and Alaska as well as Bering Strait passage between US and Russia.
