Dog Sledding on Greenland's Ice Sheet |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| With a climate ranging from arctic to subarctic, Greenland is anything but green. Much of the island is covered by a huge ice cap, larger than any other glacier in the world except that of Antarctica. Water drains from the ice sheet in the form of glaciers, which pass through valleys to the sea, where thousands of icebergs form every year. Hunters use sled dogs to traverse the vast, frozen landscape in pursuit of fur-bearing animals to trap. | ||||||
