What this video covers

Micha and Antje anchor their boat in Jüdeshaun, a natural harbor in the northern reaches of Scoresby Sund, Greenland, for a six-day stay.0:50 The crew navigates the fjord’s ice-filled waters, frequently encountering icebergs that drift into their anchorage. During their stay, a large iceberg becomes snagged on the boat’s anchor chain and stern lines; the crew successfully clears the obstruction by extending their shore lines to pull the boat forward, allowing the iceberg to drift past.6:59 They observe that the harbor entrance is restricted by a 15-meter depth barrier, which prevents the largest icebergs from entering the bay.14:16 The pair spends their time hiking the surrounding terrain, paddling, and using a drone to document the icebergs and local topography.1:02 They note that tidal changes cause grounded icebergs to shift and calve as water levels fluctuate.20:02 The crew utilizes fenders to protect the hull from nearby ice and monitors the stability of icebergs that ground in the shallow 7-to-30-meter depths of the bay.7:37
