A towering iceberg—roughly the height of a 10-storey building—drifts through the waters near Ilulissat, Greenland. What you’re seeing above the surface is only a small fraction of its true size.
Around 90% of an iceberg’s mass remains hidden below the waterline. That means this enormous structure extends far deeper beneath the surface than what’s visible here, making it vastly larger and heavier than it appears.
This iceberg likely originated from the Ilulissat Icefjord, fed by the powerful Sermeq Kujalleq—one of the fastest-moving glaciers on Earth and a major producer of some of the largest icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere.
You can experience this exact view in person by staying at this beautiful ocean front home in Ilulissat, Greenland. This home is located in one of the absolute best locations in Ilulissat, where you can hear the sea just outside as well as the smell of the ice from Ilulissat Isfjord.

Scenes like this highlight both the scale and the hidden complexity of ice in the Arctic. What appears as a floating tower is actually just the visible tip of a much larger structure shaped by glacial forces and ocean currents.
