Sailing with icebergs

Welcome to the magical Ilulissat Icefjord, where a fast-moving glacier meets the open ocean and fragments into a maze of floating icebergs. As the unfortunate Titanic taught us, bergs like this can be a big ship's bane, but this little red sailboat has no trouble flitting among the cool-blue goliaths. Speaking of that stunning contrast of colors, we owe the vividness of this night shot to the midnight sun: This spot on Greenland's west coast is just above the Arctic Circle, so during summer it stays illuminated all night long.
Skylit shore
Blue waves, green isle
An iceberg's remains
An imperiled paradise
Nobody's home
Paddling pristine seas
Stoic stones
A skylit sanctum
