The boat lifts off the quay with a soft shudder and the harbor narrows behind you. Sea spray dares you to keep your camera dry as the horizon fills with ribbons of blue ice—berg faces stripped by melt and sun, each one a slow-moving relic from Greenland’s ice sheet. On a clear morning the captain eases into Iceberg Alley and the deck hums with quiet focus: binoculars up, cameras ready, sleeves tightened against the wind.
