Monacobreen, Tidewater glacier in Haakon VII Land, Norway
The Monacobreen glacier extends into Liefdefjorden, producing icebergs that float across the fjord's waters in various shapes and sizes.
Prince Albert I of Monaco, who contributed to oceanographic research in the early 1900s, inspired the naming of this glacier in Svalbard.
The glacier serves as a research site for scientists studying climate patterns and geological formations in the Arctic region.
Visitors can reach Monacobreen by joining specialized cruise expeditions that navigate through Liefdefjorden between June and September.
When chunks of ice break off from the glacier's face, the resulting sound echoes through the fjord like thunder for several kilometers.
