A new webcam set up in Ilulissat will allow the world to watch as global warming eats away at Greenland's ice cap.
The webcam is set up near the Ice Fjord, a Unesco World Heritage Site. The Ilulissat Glacier, which empties into the fjord, is the world's most active glacier. The glacier moves along at a pace of 22 metres per day and dumps a constant flow of ice into the fjord.
Each day, enormous boulders of ice break off Ilulissat Glacier and fall into the Ice Fjord. The largest of the constant rain of ice boulders that break off can be up to 1000 metres high and several hundred metres wide.
