Prins Christian Sund is a 55-mile channel at the southern end of Greenland. On each side of the fjord rugged rock cliffs plunge hundreds of feet straight down into the icy waters. Huge glaciers from the Greenland Ice Cap cover many cliffs. Waterfalls are frozen ribbons running down the crevices of the rock. The landscape is beautifully forboding". There are over 10,000 icebergs calved by glaciers in this area yearly. A small settlement of a dozen or so buildings is perched precariously on the edge of the Sund at the foot of the cliffs. When the Sund is ice-bound, it can only be reached by helicopter (weather permitting). These are hardy people living in such isolation and harsh conditions.
