Greenland Røde Ø (Red Island) and iceberg graveyard, Scoresbysund
Røde Ø (Red Island) sits at the entrance to Rødefjord, surrounded by striking red sandstone and some of the largest concentrations of grounded icebergs in Scoresbysund. The shallow waters around the island trap the ice, creating an extensive “iceberg graveyard” where massive bergs remain stranded and slowly break apart and melt over time.
