TRIP 7: The Greenland Ice Sheet.

Old (dirty) glacier ice.

An ice road on the ice sheet, it extends 130 km inland.

TRIP 8: A beach barbeque the last day of the conference.

The hills and rocks above the beach.

The gray water in the near side of the fjord is from the sediment in the ice-sheet melt.
