STUNNING ICEBERGS

In the calm waters of Greenland, gigantic icebergs dwarf everything around them. Over the course of hundreds of years, these behemoths have grown into their own unique shape and size. The natural beauty of the icebergs, some the size of a 15 story building, was captured by American photographer Michael J Quinn, 49, on a three day expedition in Scoresby Sund, Eastern Greenland. 'Nothing prepares you for the scale of this place and the scale of the ice,' says Michael, of Fort Collins, Colorado.
