Welcome to the Icefjord Centre. The Icefjord Centre is a house holding many stories of ice and life with the ice. The Centre is located at Ilulissat in Greenland.

This is what it looks like at the Icefjord Centre in wintertime. On the next page you will see where Ilulissat is located.

The word "glacier" means "a river of ice". A glacier is a slowly moving large mass of ice. When the weight from new snow becomes sufficiently heavy on the inland ice, the lowest section of ice is pressed out towards the coast. This ice river is called a glacier. The Sermeq Kujalleq glacier produces the world´s fastest stream of ice and moves at a speed of between 19 – 40 metres a day.

In which way does the snow help creating the glacier?

Why is there a high production of phytoplankton at the Icefjord in spring?

Why is there a large concentration of nutrients close to the glacier front?

Now you are going to listen to a podcast called The life-giving glacier. You will hear about the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier. It is the glacier that calves the most on Earth and at the same time it is the fastest. You will also listen to the helicopter pilot Malik. He flies tourists out over the Icefjord and the glacier.

Welcome to the Icefjord Centre Map Ilulissat I live here Unesco´s World Heritage List Listen and talk My reference book The glacier and life The glacier in numbers The rich wildlife Malik´s marine P.O box

pages 4-7 pages 8-9 pages 10-11 pages 12-15 pages 16-17 pages 18-19 pages 20-21 pages 22-23 pages 24-27 pages 28-29

In the podcast they talk about how fast the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier moves. It can move at a speed of up to 19-40 metres a day.

If the glacier moves 19 metres a day, how fast does it move per hour?

If the glacier moves 40 metres a day, how fast does it move per hour?

If the glacier moved 2 metres per hour, how fast would it move per day?
