The Eqi Glacier in Greenland is a stunning sight that can be experienced up close by boat. This active glacier calves frequently, creating a unique sight and sound that visitors can witness. Unlike the larger Sermeq Kujalleq, the Eqi Glacier is easily accessible and offers visitors the opportunity to get closer. Sitting in a boat in front of the five-kilometer-wide glacier is a remarkable experience, as you wait for pieces of ice to fall off and create a huge bang followed by a big splash. The explosive sounds come from the release of air bubbles that were trapped under pressure as the snow turned into ice.
