Sources thermales de Qeqertarsuaq

The thermal springs of Qeqertarsuaq (Disko Island) in western Greenland are among the most northerly naturally occurring hot springs in the world, where lightly mineral oligomineral water surfaces from the volcanic basalt geology of Disko Island — one of the world's largest oceanic islands of volcanic origin — in a setting of extraordinary Arctic grandeur with icebergs, musk oxen, and the vast Greenland ice sheet visible across the Disko Bay. The springs, in a landscape shaped by the same volcanism that produced the flood basalts of the North Atlantic Igneous Province, exist in one of the world's most dramatically remote and climatically challenging thermal environments. The midnight sun in summer, the Northern Lights in winter, and the pristine Arctic wilderness make Qeqertarsuaq one of the world's most extraordinary geothermal destinations.
