Ilulissat Icefjord: A UNESCO World Heritage Site

In 2004 Ilulissat Icefjord was admitted onto UNESCO’s World Heritage List, and is today at the center of the huge international focus on global warming thanks to extensive media coverage, visits by tourists, and study trips by professionals and politicians alike.

Ilulissat Icefjord

In recent years the site has been visited by several American senators, including John McCain, Speaker of the United States House Of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Chairman of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso, and many others besides. In addition to being Greenland's biggest natural attraction owing to the fjord's gigantic icebergs, Ilulissat Icefjord is also an easy place to observe that a significant retreat of glaciers is indeed taking place in Greenland.
