Disko Bay, Greenland

This is Greenland, where the icebergs grow tall and the ocean runs deep; where the red sails glide and the sun does not sleep. This is the Icefjord of Ilulissat, where the glacier calves and the whales prance, where the Inuit hunt and the northern lights dance. This is Disko Bay, where the seas are calm and the spirits are kings, where the ice glistens and the light sings.

As we begin what may prove to be a momentous year for the world, this interview is a stark reminder of the dramatic impact that the warming of the Arctic Ocean is having on the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. ‘Melt: Portrait of an Iceberg’ lends this wider story particular poignancy in the way that the artist identifies with the dwindling bergs, their journey through life and their slow dissolution as they travel out to sea.

Simon Harsent talks about the global catastrophe of climate change and the personal journey that led him to make this work in his interview at Talking Pictures
