Greenland High Sea

The sea off eastern Greenland carries ice from the Arctic toward the northern Atlantic. The East Greenland Current bears both sea ice and icebergs south along a coast deeply cut by fjords. Weather and ocean conditions alter the breadth and position of the drifting ice, leaving the approaches to land changeable from one season to another. Beyond the pack ice lie the open waters separating Greenland from Iceland across the Denmark Strait.
