In Greenland, Iceberg Shedding Is a Tourist Attraction and a Threat
When an iceberg breaks off from a glacier, it can drift for thousands of miles, traveling freely across the open ocean. But last week, an iceberg\u2019s journey was interrupted when it got stuck on a shallow part of the seafloor along Greenland\u2019s western coast. In other words, the iceberg was grounded\u2014and it had lodged itself right beside the small island village of Innaarsuit.
