In this picture taken on Sunday, Aug. 23, 2009 the Greenpeace vessel the Arctic Sunrise passes through the Sermilk Fjord in Greenland. The Greenpeace icebreaker hosting the a research team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. The Woods Hole team on board the Artic Sunrise zigzagged between majestic icebergs in the Sermilik fjord last month in search of proof that waters from warmer latitudes, or subtropical waters, are flushing through this remote and frigid region. They found it — all the way up to the base of the outlet glaciers that spill into the ocean like tongues of ice from Greenland's massive ice sheet.
