It turns out that all puppies come from Greenland. Like the stork delivering babies, the ice delivers new born fuzzy dogs with enormous paws. They effectively rule the land, roaming freely and dispensing kisses everywhere they go. If you have any inclination of getting a dog and are trying to convince yourself not to, stay away from Greenland. It will ruin you.

Ilulissat Icefjord, the most productive glacier in the Northern Hemisphere. Ilulissat, Greenland
Greenland is home to the largest glaciers outside of Antarctica. The Greenland ice sheet weighs 2.565 quadrillion tonnes, which is equal to the weight of 7.5 billion Empire State Buildings. At its thickest point, the ice is almost 2 miles thick. If it all were to melt, global sea levels would rise by 23 feet and flood almost every coastal city. Together with Antarctica, the combined ice sheets contain more than 99% of the freshwater ice on Earth, and over 2/3 of the world’s fresh water.

Ilulissat Icefjord. The glacier flows at a rate of 20–35 m (66–115 ft) per day, resulting in around 20 billion tons of ice passing out of the fjord every year.
