At the western coast of Greenland lies the massive glacier Sermeq Kujalleq. For more than 250 years, glaciologists have studiedthe ancient glacier and its daily production of immense amounts of ice, and it remains an ideal spot for scientific observation of climate changes. Dorte Mandrup has designed the new Icefiord Centre in Ilulissat to blend in with the impressive landscape, while offering local residents, tourists, and climate researchers the ultimate vantage point from which to absorb the historic atmosphere of the Icefiord. The Icefiord Centre will tell a story of ice, of human history and evolution on both a local and global scale. The Icefiord area carries 4,000 years of cultural heritage and is essential for today’s understanding of climate changes.
