The Beautiful Petermann Glacier
The Petermann glacier is the northernmost glacier in the world. It is situated in North-East Greenland. It is partially floating (at the end), and mainly located on land. In 2008, a 7 miles long crack was observed on the glacier by satellite. It has been progressing forward and is expected to break-off in the summer 2009.

uh... what's with the penguin.? Clearly these pictures aren't all from the same place
Ha! I came here to post the same thing. Either that penguin picture doesn't belong or someone brought along a pet penguin.
Penguins live in the southern hemisphere.
Glad I wasn't the only one to notice...that's why I'm here, too!
That is an Adelie penguin and they live only in Antarctica.
The picture below the penguin is of the same location. I'd really like to know what bologna is being put forward here.
Yep. I was drawn to the site after the news about the massive break in the glacier, but I must admit to wondering about this little fella and how he seems to have lost his way.
