## Caption

In July 2018, an iceberg weighing 11 million tons parked just offshore of Innaarsuit, a small island village in northwestern Greenland. Ground-based photographs show its impressive height as it towered over the small village. “This is absolutely beautiful,” said Kelly Brunt, a glaciologist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (nasagoddard). “The z dimension (height) is pretty extreme.” When viewed from space, however, the iceberg is like a “Where’s Waldo?” puzzle, becoming lost in a sea of similar looking bergs. On July 5, 2018, the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 acquired this natural-color image of the area. Learn more about NASA Earth Observation at: NASA.gov/earth
