Abstract
Greenland, the largest centre of the modern glaciation of the Northern Hemisphere, is situated in the North Atlantic. Its white ice cap rising above the sea level to the heights of 2–3 thousand metres is a source of numerous icebergs. Modern glaciation also exists on Spitsbergen, Franz Joseph Land, Novaya Zemlya and arctic Canada (see Table 3.1).
