Iceberg Alley

Iceberg Alley is a stretch of ocean near Greenland where large chunks of ice, called icebergs, drift from glaciers into the water. This area is known for the frequent presence of these massive floating ice masses, which can pose navigation hazards for ships. The icebergs originate from the ice-filled fjords and glaciers along Greenland’s coast, breaking off and traveling southward. Iceberg Alley highlights the dynamic relationship between climate change and glacial melting, as increasing temperatures lead to more icebergs calving into the sea. It is a critical region for scientific study and maritime safety.
