Position : Narsaq port ; the eighth largest city in Greenland with 1’581 inhabitants.
Latitude, 61° 9' 21.17"N ; Longitude, 45° 25' 9.90"W
After several days of searching for ice-free passage through the fjords of southern Greenland, FOREL finally arrived at Narsaq at night where the GreenFjord scientific team was patiently waiting for them. A great effort from the crew who persevered to get there.
The GreenFjord science project (www.greenfjord-project.ch ) can now start. The objective is to investigate on the ice-land-ocean interface and conduct detailed sampling at two ocean terminating glaciers close to Narsaq.
To find out more about the scientific program, a page on our site is dedicated: FOREL Greenland 2024.
