A sumptuous tour of various locations in Greenland by Swedish nature photographer Stefan Forster. Of the great ice sheet, currently melting at its fastest rate in 350 years, he sez:
Today quiet and untouched places are becoming more and more rare. On my first visit to Greenland, I was fascinated by the incredible power of nature that can be felt everywhere. But during the last years things have changed. The amount of icebergs is increasing savagely.

There is nothing more beautiful than an iceberg — everyone is unique and the light reflecting from its surface is magical. It’s sad how close beauty and decay can be seen in an iceberg.
