This article is part of the Research TopicCarbon Bridge to the ArcticView all 20 articles
Greenland fjords receive considerable amounts of glacial meltwater discharge from the Greenland Ice Sheet due to present climate warming
and biological processes due to altered nutrient input and the addition of silts
We present the first comprehensive analysis of the summer carbon cycle in the world's largest fjord system situated in southeastern Greenland
we visited Scoresby Sund and its northernmost branch
In addition to direct measurements of hydrography
biogeochemical parameters and sediment trap fluxes
we derived net community production (NCP) and full water column particulate organic carbon (POC) fluxes
and estimated carbon remineralization from vertical flux attenuation
While the narrow Nordvestfjord is influenced by subglacial and surface meltwater discharge
these meltwater effects on the outer fjord part of Scoresby Sund are weakened due to its enormous width
We found that subglacial and surface meltwater discharge to Nordvestfjord significantly limited NCP to 32–36 mmol C m−2 d−1 compared to the outer fjord part of Scoresby Sund (58–82 mmol C m−2 d−1) by inhibiting the resupply of nutrients to the surface and by shadowing of silts contained in the meltwater
The POC flux close to the glacier fronts was elevated due to silt-ballasting of settling particles that increases the sinking velocity and thereby reduces the time for remineralization processes within the water column
the outer fjord part of Scoresby Sund showed stronger attenuation of particles due to horizontal advection and
more intense remineralization within the water column
Our results imply that glacially influenced parts of Greenland's fjords can be considered as hotspots of carbon export to depth
this export is likely to be enhanced during glacial melting
entrainment of increasingly warmer Atlantic Water might support a higher productivity in fjord systems
It therefore seems that future ice-free fjord systems with high input of glacial meltwater may become increasingly important for Arctic carbon sequestration
In light of the increasing amount of meltwater discharge to the fjord due to climate warming
a better understanding of its influence on the fjord's carbon cycle is urgently needed to make more precise projections on the future of Arctic glacial fjords
Few studies have examined the carbon cycling in Arctic fjords while considering both physical and biological processes (e.g., Rysgaard et al., 2012; Meire et al., 2015, 2017; Sørensen et al., 2015)
Studies on biogeochemical cycling in Scoresby Sund
which is the largest fjord system in the world and influenced by several marine and land-terminating glaciers
Scoresby Sund differs from other east Greenland fjords due to its unique topographic and bathymetric structure
consisting of several narrow (~5 km) inner fjords with depths of more than 1,000 m
and a wider (~40 km) and shallower (~600 m) outer fjord
Both the inner fjord arms and the outer fjord significantly vary in the magnitude and mode of delivery of glacial meltwater exported from the GrIS
which allows for the examination of the particular influence of meltwater on the fjord's biogeochemical cycling
We examine patterns of carbon cycling and export within Scoresby Sund in an effort to shed light on the influence of meltwater with regard to the functioning of this poorly studied coastal fjord system
The study presents a snapshot of the carbon dynamics in Scoresby Sund during the summer season
net community production (NCP) and POC flux estimates
supplemented with information on the hydrography of the fjord derived from a summer 2016 cruise along a transect from the shelf to the fjord head
Further data from a second cruise in summer 2018 were used to discuss circulation patterns within the fjord system
special attention was given to processes close to a prominent marine-terminating glacier at the head of a branch of Scoresby Sund
Our results show that productivity and POC fluxes were dependent on the degree of meltwater supply
with low productivity and high fluxes in the vicinity of glaciers
Our study provides for the first time a detailed description of Scoresby Sund's biogeochemical cycling
and gives a perspective on how this and similar glacial fjord systems may respond to increasing glacial melt from the GrIS in the future

namely Nordvestfjord and Outer Scoresby Sund (OSS)
Light blue regions correspond to the ice cover of the GrIS
Major marine-terminating glaciers (MTG1-5) and surface meltwater discharges (SMD1-7) are marked in the map and displayed in enlarged images
Daugaard-Jensen glacier (DGJ) is indicated at the head of Nordvestfjord
White lines at the fjord mouth (A+B) and the entrance to Nordvestfjord (C) mark the positions of the LADCP transects during MSM76
with green pentagons showing where sediment traps were deployed
and blue pentagons indicating where the camera profiles were performed
the standard sampling program was conducted
including CTD casts and in most cases sampling for nutrients and dissolved inorganic carbon/total alkalinity
Station numbers are included for stations that are explicitly mentioned in the text
Note that some stations were visited twice
upon entering and exiting the fjord system
three marine-terminating glaciers drain into Nordvestfjord and two into the OSS
Seven meltwater rivers flow into Nordvestfjord and two into the OSS
Data were collected during a comprehensive sampling program with the German research vessel RV Maria S. Merian (cruise MSM56) (Koch, 2016). Twenty-two stations were sampled between 10 and 19 July 2016 along a transect from the inner Nordvestfjord to the fjord mouth, and additional three stations at the Greenland shelf (Figure 1)
The methods were calibrated using certified reference material (batches #102 and #161) supplied by Scripps Institution of Oceanography
where PAR(0 m) data was extrapolated from the top 5 measurements
Regarding marine-terminating glaciers, the resolution of our dataset does not allow to distinguish between subglacial discharge (surface melt that is discharged through channels at the glacier base) and submarine melt (meltwater from below sea level) (Straneo and Cenedese, 2015)
even if we are aware that both meltwater types might enter the fjord waters in different ways
Mean concentrations in the Polar Water at three shelf stations were 6.3 ± 1.3 μmol l−1 for nitrate+nitrite
and 0.6 ± 0.09 μmol l−1 for phosphate
For the depth of the winter remnant layer we took the temperature minima at the individual stations (between 41 and 135 m depth)
The net nutrient drawdown was obtained at each station by integrating the difference between the concentration in the temperature minimum and that in the surface layer above it. To exclude dilution by ice melt, evaporation, and precipitation, nutrient concentrations were normalized to a constant salinity of 34.5, as described in Hoppema et al. (2007). We then applied the following equation (modified after Ulfsbo et al., 2014):
Accounting for variability in our definition of winter nutrient concentrations resulted in deviations in our estimates of NCP of ±18% (from nitrate+nitrite deficits) and ±41% (from phosphate deficits) from the ones presented here
and flux of particulate organic carbon measured in sediment trap samples per station (stations with only CTD and shelf stations casts are not included)
four sampling rounds were conducted within 24 h
where n (#m−3cm−1) is the particle size distribution in a given small size range
and w (md−1) is the average sinking velocity of the particles in a given small size range
Since both particle mass m and sinking velocity w scales as a power relationship when expressed as a function of particle diameter d
the product of m and w also scale as a power relationship as a function of d
We used a minimization procedure to find the factor and exponent providing the best-fit between the trap collected fluxes and F obtained from the in-situ images at the trap depths
using the Matlab R2015a function fminsearch
Vertical distribution of the (A) total particle volume [cm3l−1]
An artifact on a picture at 100 m depth lead to a single high value in (A)
but by relating the sediment trap POC measure during the computation process to all pictures within a depth range of 10 m above and below the actual depth of the sediment trap
The dotted line in (B) indicates the Martin curve based on the maximum and the deepest POC fluxes
the remineralization exponent b from the previous fitting as well as the NCP at the surface were used
As most of the camera profiles did not cover the water column down to the bottom, we fitted a Martin curve to the profiles for extrapolation (Martin et al., 1987; Belcher et al., 2016):
The Martin curves differ considerably from the POC flux profiles at the surface
which might be the result of small particles that could not be detected on the images
the general pattern of the decrease in POC flux is consistent: POC flux and total aggregate volume peak in the upper 100 m of the water column
and particles are attenuated to low and quasi constant fluxes at depths below 200 m
To test the robustness of the findings based on the b value with a more simple approximation of export and remineralization
we calculated the ratio between the discrete POC fluxes at 100 m depth and the NCP estimates at the camera stations (by relating sediment trap stations with the closest camera stations)
above the PW a ~10 m thick very fresh surface layer was recorded
with temperatures sometimes exceeding 3°C
most likely reflecting summertime surface discharge of meltwater from the GrIS combined with solar heating in the fjord
maximum mixed layer depths are limited to the upper 10 m of the water column
During the cruise we noticed the presence of icebergs from calving glaciers in the whole fjord with increasing density toward the fjord head
or for the POC fluxes by weighted-average gridding due to the low profile number
Bright lines indicate the CTD and camera profiles
The approximate positions of marine-terminating glaciers are shown by blue dashed lines
and surface meltwater discharge by blue triangles above the panels
Daugaard-Jensen glacier is situated close to the westernmost station (left side of the panels)
the 27.9 kg m−3 isopycnal deepens from 300 m in the OSS to 500 m in Nordvestfjord
indicating higher densities (salinities) to be present in the OSS compared to Nordvestfjord in this depth range
This pattern is reminiscent of a deep overflow (spill) of AW across the sill that
does not extend all the way to the bottom in Nordvestfjord
Figure 5. Same as Figure 4 for the upper 500 m of the water column: (A) temperature (°C), (B) salinity, (C) dissolved oxygen (μmol kg-1), (D) turbidity (NTU), (E) POC flux (g C m-2 d-1), and (F) chlorophyll a fluorescence (μg l-1). Section plots of the nutrient distributions are in Figure 6
Figure 6. Same as Figure 4 for the nutrient distributions within upper 500 m of the water column: (A) nitrate+nitrite (μmol l-1)
The depth of the euphotic zone as derived from the 1% depth of PAR ranged between 20 and 69 m throughout the whole study area
While light penetration varied in the Nordvestfjord between 20 and 44 m (mean = 32 m
it increased toward the OSS and the adjacent Greenland shelf
we assume that they reflect carbonate mineral precipitation
Figure 7. Least-square linear regressions of (A) Total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) vs. salinity (R2 = 0.906) and (C) Total alkalinity (TA) vs. salinity (R2 = 0.942). Linear regressions were performed based only on samples with salinities >25. Normalization of (B) DIC and (D) TA was performed according to the formula of Friis et al. (2003) for non-zero freshwater endmembers
Dashed lines in (B,D) represent the approximate mean values of the samples with salinities >25
Deviations relative to this line (low-salinity samples
mainly from the surface of Nordvestfjord) indicate processes other than conservative mixing that modify TA and DIC concentrations
The NCP was high in the OSS (58 mmol C m−2 d−1 for phosphate deficits, 82 mmol C m−2 d−1 for nitrate+nitrite deficits) compared to Nordvestfjord (32 mmol C m−2 d−1 for phosphate deficits, 36 mmol C m−2 d−1 for nitrate+nitrite deficits; Table 2)
Visual analyses of net samples from Nordvestfjord revealed that the phytoplankton community was already in a post-bloom stage (B
and fecal pellets found in the sediment traps show that intense grazing already diminished the primary production
a healthy and thriving phytoplankton community was observed in net samples of the OSS
and remineralization in Nordvestfjord (NVF) and the Outer Scoresby Sund (OSS)
indicating active primary production and remineralization
nutrient concentrations and turbidity increased toward the depth of the AW (200 m)
while the POC flux stayed low throughout the water column
Figure 11 summarizes the main processes that are discussed in the following chapters
As mass should be approximately conserved on weekly and long time scales
the tidal correction seems to add to the plausibility of the results
The outflow is found in both channels to occur mainly at middepths confined to a layer bounded by the 27.9 kg m−3 at the bottom and the 0°C isotherm (i.e.
the flow across section C seems to vary strongly with depth
with an inflow of warm AW of 65 · 103 m3 s−1 at the bottom
compensated by an outflow of slightly colder AW
There is no indication of pronounced horizontal recirculation as was found at the mouth of Scoresby Sund
no evidence for horizonal recirculations are found
Here the flow seems to vary mainly in the vertical - reminiscent of estuarine circulations with an inflow at depth and outflow above this
The inflow of warm AW into Scoresby Sund at depth and the compensatory outflow at shallower levels means that the heat
and mass need to be transported upward within Nordvestfjord
The gradual warming of the subsurface layer (erosion of PW layer) may be explained by this
The fact that the isohalines are essentially flat in the upper 200 m throughout the OSS and Nordvestfjord may mean that there is a balance between salt being mixed upward and the input of freshwater from marine terminating glaciers and icebergs into the subsurface waters of the fjord
Since there was no patch of other high nutrients
and the chlorophyll a fluorescence was not elevated
the surface meltwater must have been the source of silicate and silt
We assume that surface meltwater rivers accumulated silicate during their way across the bedrock surface
The indirect impact of glacier meltwater discharge on the distribution of nutrients and the resulting productivity in the fjord depends on the meltwater source. Meire et al. (2017) described two possible patterns: a fjord dominated by marine-terminating glaciers is likely to be productive because of enhanced upwelling of nutrient-rich deep water induced by the deep meltwater plume (see also Kanna et al., 2018)
a fjord that is dominated by land-terminating glaciers discharges meltwater directly into the surface layer and is therefore characterized by low productivity because of enhanced stratification
Even when not much is known about the marine-terminating glaciers in Scoresby Sund
it seems as if these factors produced plumes that obtained neutral buoyancy below the photic zone with only having a minor fertilizing effect on primary production
The depth of neutral buoyancy can be different for each marine-terminating glacier
nutrients were transferred from the Greenland shelf to the OSS in the layer from 40 m to the bottom with concentrations of up to 12 μmol l−1 of nitrate+nitrite; 0.8 μmol l−1 of phosphate; and 6.0 μmol l−1 of silicate
It seems as if these waters would not supply the whole Scoresby Sund with nutrients
because nutrient concentrations decrease shortly after entering the OSS
our stations were located at the southern side of the OSS entrance
and thus in the outflowing water (see section 4.1)
the connection between the inner fjord waters and the shelf waters in terms of nutrient concentrations would possibly have been clear
Above, we discussed why no nutrients arrived in the very surface layer (upper 10–20 m), resulting in a low primary productivity in Nordvestfjord. However, the situation with the nutrients supply to the euphotic zone is more complicated than this. The euphotic zone ranged from 20 to 44 m (see section 3). In a similar depth range of 20–35 m, the chlorophyll a fluorescence maxima were found (Figure 5F)
Nutrient concentrations were clearly higher in the deeper waters (>30 m) than in the near-surface water
This constellation can be explained by upwelling of nutrients which are consumed by primary producers near the lower boundary of the euphotic zone
identified by a chlorophyll a fluorescence maximum
the deep maximum of chlorophyll a fluorescence in the fjord is very much influenced by the different
meltwater inflows which in turn determine the nutrient availability
redistribution of sediments and phytoplankton cells increased turbidity at the bottom and at the surface
turbidity was solely elevated at high-oxygen patches near the surface
suggesting that only plankton itself increased turbidity
also situated at Greenland's west coast
reporting on light penetration depth from <1 m near a meltwater outlet to a typical range from 6 to 39 m in the main part
again correlated with the concentration of suspended inorganic matter
we suspect that the contribution of meltwater from land-terminating glaciers in Scoresby Sund is higher than in Godthåbsfjord
Note that there are some uncertainties in the approach of obtaining a freshwater endmember estimate for TA and DIC
because low-salinity samples have been excluded from the linear extrapolation as they might have been influenced by biological processes
due to the stable freshwater surface layer and the distribution patterns of nutrients
which are indicating no upwelling to the surface
we believe that the latter is the least likely cause
visual analysis of net samples and the catchment of debris
and fecal pellets in the sediment traps demonstrated that production was terminated
remineralization of part of the organic material after the productive period might have caused our NCP to be underestimated
Because these assumptions may not completely hold in a fjord system
an overestimation of NCP may have been introduced at some locations in the OSS where we sampled on the southern side of the fjord and
nutrient-poor water (see section 4.1 and 4.2.1)
generating openings (polynyas and leads) in the sea ice during winter
We conjecture that also the ice break-up is affected by tidal dynamics
and wind forcing may have acted differently on the winter sea ice cover in Scoresby Sund and in Godthåbsfjord
ending up in different timing of the blooms from the fjord mouths to the inner fjords
a spring bloom in April/May and a summer bloom in July that was probably initiated by upwelling of nutrients from deeper layers
We could not observe such an upwelling of nutrients to the upper surface layer during the time of the expedition
but upwelling to the lower bound of the euphotic layer could be deduced from the existence of a maximum of chlorophyll a fluorescence
the import of nutrients from the shelf could have either supported a prolonged spring bloom or initiated a summer bloom
Our dataset does not allow further analysis of the temporal bloom dynamics in Scoresby Sund
Differences in NCP estimates based on nitrate+nitrite or phosphate deficits may be a result of a deviation from the canonical Redfield ratio. This deviation may be caused by different remineralization rates of the nutrients, or a phytoplankton assemblage with a non-Redfieldian stoichiometric ratio. Also, nitrate is more prone to be altered by additional processes other than phytoplankton growth, for instance denitrification and nitrogen fixation (Anderson et al., 2003)
both estimates show the same trends within the fjord system
we calculated the daily NCP rate based on the number of open water days since winter and averaged out fluctuations in production within this period
while the POC fluxes (and the resulting export to the sea floor) are snapshots of the situation during the time of the cruise
The density gradients described before may have given the zooplankton additional time to feed effectively before particles sank to a depth were microbial respiration dominated over zooplankton activity
At the sill between the OSS and Nordvestfjord
a higher POC flux at depth than in the surrounding waters was observed
Whether this is caused by the overflow of AW into the basin of Nordvestfjord (see section 4.1) would need further investigations
it might be that the sill plays an important role in the distribution of particles and solutes at the entrance to Nordvestfjord
our data suggest that the Scoresby Sund can be divided into two parts with particular biogeochemical regimes: The outer fjord part (OSS) experiences high productivity due to the large surface area that reduces the stratifying impact of surface meltwater discharge
and the import of nutrients with shelf waters
as well as an active pelagic remineralization reducing the sedimentation of organic carbon to the sea floor
is the opposite; primary production is limited by the supply of nutrients and shadowing by silts at the surface
whereas the export efficiency is high due to ballasting by exactly those silts
we assume that we recorded signs of the submarine meltwater export of Daugaard-Jensen glacier; these could not be detected further outfjord due to the gradual mixing with fjord waters from depth
confirming that meltwater itself does not introduce additional nutrients (see section 4.2.1)
The hydrographical settings and biogeochemical cyclings are therefore profoundly different between Young Sound and Scoresby Sund
which makes a direct transfer of Scoresby Sund's conditions to Young Sound regarding future projections difficult
We nevertheless believe that a thorough examination of fjords along the coast of Greenland reveal important information on the way Arctic glacially-influenced ecosystems are developing with ongoing climate change
even though fjord systems can barely be compared to each other as a whole
several hydrographic and biogeochemical concepts are similar and can be related to each other
Analyzing the topography of Scoresby Sund in more detail would therefore add significant information for making projections on the future fate of Scoresby Sund's carbon cycle
The Scoresby Sund fjord system is the largest fjord system in the world
but its hydrography and biogeochemical cycling has never before been studied
We presented data from a comprehensive sampling program in summer 2016
They show that circulation and biogeochemical cycling largely depend on the kind of freshwater import from the GrIS to the fjord
and on the fjord width that defines the degree how meltwater can act on the hydrography of the fjord
We define two different regimes in Scoresby Sund:
we assign Nordvestfjord to be a hotspot of carbon burial
We analyzed processes close to the glacier front of Scoresby Sund's largest marine-terminating glacier at the head of Nordvestfjord
We saw signs of a freshwater plume 8–10 km away from the terminus that obtained neutral buoyancy at 200–240 m depth
While NCP was not higher than at other locations in Nordvestfjord
the POC flux was high possibly due to meltwater-induced mass mortality of planktonic organisms
With ongoing climate warming we anticipate an intensification of the differences between Nordvestfjord and the OSS compared to present-day conditions
Investigating the other fjord arms of the Scoresby Sund fjord system would reveal important information whether processes are similar to those we observed in Nordvestfjord
This could then be used to give an area-based estimate on production vs
whether Scoresby Sund is or will be a source or a sink of atmospheric CO2
Long-term observations are needed to understand the seasonal variability of production and remineralization within the fjord
and to assess Scoresby Sund's role in the Arctic carbon cycle
our observations highlight the impact of the interplay between fjord geometry and glacial meltwater discharge on hydrography and biogeochemical processes
and contribute to the understanding of Greenland's fjord systems and their carbon cycling
Conceptual figure of the different regimes in Scoresby Sund influencing the fjord carbon cycle
Two-dimensional circulation was observed at the entrance to Nordvestfjord with inflowing water below 400–500 m depth
the formation of a three-dimensional circulation pattern consisting of outflowing water at the southern side and inflowing water at the northern side was possible (2)
The import of meltwater (3) consists of rising meltwater plumes from submarine discharge and surface meltwater inflow
(4) indicates the deep overflow of Atlantic Water across the sill
and meltwater discharge result in (5) plumes of high turbidity at the depth of surface and submarine meltwater discharge as well as resuspension
The distribution of nutrients is determined by upwelling caused by rising plumes of subglacial discharge
and by the import with Atlantic and Polar Water from the shelf (6)

Experience a cruise like no other and see Greenland’s rarest sites alongside just 12 other travellers
Here’s why you should book with Secret Atlas…
Its experts get you even closer to the things you want to see
like August and September – when clear skies
longer days and zero light pollution mean your chances of a spectacular aurora show are high
Here are five reasons you shouldn’t delay booking…
Scoresby Sund is an untouched wilderness, not to mention a vast one. The sheer volume of ice here means it’s closed nine months of the year, leaving visitors a short window in which to explore. That’s where Secret Atlas’ micro cruise around East Greenland comes in
getting you off the beaten track and up close to towering glacier after towering glacier
there’s more here than floating ice sheets
you could find yourself cruising along Volquart Boons Coast where you can stop to see the lava-sculpted basalt columns of Viking Bay
and you may even meet ancient Inuit tribes
but discover their hidden off-shoots too: like Hare Fjord and Røde Fjord
And the otherworldly landscapes don’t stop there: the 74km-long Ø Fjord boasts an intricate and breathtaking labyrinth of icebergs
If you embark on a more traditional expedition cruise, you’d be one of 350 passengers. As one of only 12 like-minded travellers, the biggest draw with Secret Atlas’ Greenland expeditions is that you won’t have to tackle the crowds
and you don’t have to queue or wait to get a spot on the next zodiac – it’s ready and waiting
deck hot tub and sauna are blissfully quiet and
with the best guide-to-guest ratio in the industry
it’s easy to soak up all that expert knowledge
your smaller (more manoeuvrable) ship is focused on lower impact travel and is therefore better for the environment
Edge-of-the-Earth town Ittoqqortoormiit is perhaps one of our favourite stops on a Secret Atlas itinerary
Not only is it the most isolated settlement in Greenland
but it’s also officially the most remote inhabited community in the Western Hemisphere
It has less than 400 residents and is located some 800 km from the next-closest town
it’s the gateway to the largest fjord system on the planet
cut-off from the rest of the world by sea ice most of the time
to reach it you’ll need to employ a helicopter
displaying elusive natural wonders like polar bears
not to mention a pretty patchwork of technicolour houses – a stark contrast to the otherwise pristine
Cruises flex to suit guests and the weather
meaning very little time is wasted and you’ll never feel rushed
there’s no wasted sea days – guests simply take a Secret Atlas private charter flight from Iceland to East Greenland
and less time worrying about potential sea sickness while crossing the infamous Denmark Strait
Secret Atlas prides itself on its expertise and evoking the true spirit of exploration
and each itinerary is hand-made for explorers
which is why ‘Expedition Micro Cruises’ were born
These trips prioritise freedom and connection to the wild – giving you that feeling that typically only comes from being a travel pioneer
it was a sailing expedition across East Greenland that first inspired the company’s co-founder
harnessing the wisdom and insights of photography pros

Did you know Greenland is the largest island on the planet but only has a population of 56,000 inhabitants making it one of the most sparsely populated places on Earth
The lucky few who visit Greenland, rarely make it to Scoresby Sund due to only being accessible from August – October and Secret Atlas has launched a new Expedition Micro Cruise to allow small intimate groups to explore the stunning fjord system
elusive wildlife and the remote community of Ittoqqortoormiit
Secret Atlas promises an intimate experience with crowd-free expeditions and flexible itineraries led by world-class expedition leaders ensuring the best chance of seeing muskox
the Expedition Micro Cruise spends eight days exploring the stunning landscapes of Scoresby Sund including as much time as possible spent off the ship on daily Zodiac cruises and onshore hikes
Guests are in for a treat at the end of the expedition
sailing up the longest fjord on the planet and past the impressive ice giants of Scoresby Sund before visiting the small and remote community of Ittoqqortoormiit
Ittoqqortoormiit is one of the most isolated settlements in Greenland and a unique opportunity to learn about Inuit traditions
Secret Atlas Co-Founder and enthusiast explorer Michele D’Agostino said
“When I first entered Scoresby Sund Fjord in July 2018
I immediately understood what a fascinating and unique part of the planet it was
We decided to launch the East Greenland micro cruise to allow a small group of guests the opportunity to experience this remote part of the world in an authentic and private way

IDAHO FALLS — A Thunder Ridge High School student-athlete was recently diagnosed with cancer the same weekend as his 18th birthday
Tanner Scoresby is a senior who played varsity basketball
told EastIdahoNews.com that for a couple of weeks
whenever Tanner ran at basketball practice
“His dad and I kept trying to get him to go to the doctor
but he was afraid they would tell him he was sick and he wouldn’t be able to play basketball with his team,” Missy said
“(On January 31) there was no school
Tanner had basketball practice at 7:30 a.m
finally convinced him to go to the doctor and get a chest X-ray.”
He went to an urgent care for a chest X-ray
When the doctors checked Tanner’s lungs
they couldn’t hear the air in his right lung
He ended up at the emergency room for a CT scan
“That is where they found a mass pressing against his lung and saw that his lungs were full of fluid,” the Scoresby’s explained
“They immediately sent Tanner to Primary Children’s Hospital for care … (and) started to drain the fluid off his lungs
Tanner was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma
Due to how big the mass on his trachea is (6x4x5 inches)
doctors do not feel it’s safe to sedate him
he has a temporary PICC line in his thigh so he can receive chemotherapy
Tanner will undergo nine months of intensive chemotherapy
“Tanner has handled things like a champ,” his family said
“He has tried to stay positive and is taking things one day at a time.”
To follow Tanner’s cancer journey on Facebook, click here. A GoFundMe has been started to help the Scoresbys with medical costs and travel expenses to and from Salt Lake City. To donate, click here
“We have been carried and supported on so many ways by our wonderful community,” his parents stated
“They have rallied around Tanner and our family in so many ways
The people of our community have been literal angels

A man has been arrested and investigations continue after police found a body inside a house in Melbourne’s east overnight
A 30-year-old man has been arrested as police investigate the death of a 78-year-old man in Melbourne’s east on Thursday night
Concerns were raised about 11.30pm on Thursday over the welfare of two people believed to be inside a Scoresby home
with police called to the property in Nardu Court and cordoning off the area
A 31-year-old man was arrested and remains in custody after police found the 78-year-old man’s body inside the home
Police believe the parties are known to each other
but the exact circumstances surrounding the incident are yet to be determined
A crime scene has been established and homicide squad detectives are at the scene investigating
Originally published as Arrest after body found inside house in Melbourne’s east
As demand continues for warehouse assets across Melbourne
a warehouse in Melbourne’s south east has broken a sale price record
was purchased for $16.8 million by an owner-occupier from the vendor
The sale price equated to $2,731 per sqm – a record for the area
Knight Frank’s Stuart Gill and Steven Salopek negotiate the deal following an on market Expressions of Interest campaign
Mr Gill said more than 100 enquiries were received during the campaign from owner-occupiers
The buyer was an owner-occupier who intends to operate from the site later in the year
“Prior to the on-market campaign the vendor had received offers brought in from another other agent in the low $14 million range
but our on-market campaign resulted in a sale price of nearly 20 per cent higher,” he said
“Demand was so incredibly strong due to the ongoing shortage in Melbourne’s industrial market
and the competition for the asset led to an escalation in the price with a record being achieved
“There is limited supply of industrial property sized at more than 5000 square metres for sale in the south east of Melbourne.”
Mr Salopek added that buyers were attracted to the property given it was a high-quality asset
and is sought-after location close to Eastlink
“The property also provides the flexibility to subdivide in the future
to create two smaller warehouses,” he added
“It is located within the city of Knox’s industrial precinct
in close proximity to Eastlink and Stud Road providing excellent access to Melbourne’s road network
Cummins and CSR Bradford are among the major occupiers in the area
Knight Frank’s latest industrial research has revealed that vacant space in Melbourne’s south east declined by 16% during the first quarter of this year

Early literacy is the cornerstone of academic success
Researchers at the University of Chicago and other institutions highlight a crucial shift: Up to the end of third grade
most students are “learning to read” while from fourth grade on
they’re “reading to learn.” With this in mind
the drive to improve literacy has prompted districts to begin academic interventions with students when they are younger
identifying and addressing literacy gaps earlier to help students succeed
districts can set the foundation for long-term success and close achievement gaps
Fresno Unified School District (FUSD) is the third largest school district in the state of California, US, serving approximately 71,000 students. In August 2023, FUSD launched a literary initiative to help get students reading on grade level by the end of first grade
FUSD adopted innovative literacy tools like Reading Progress
Reading Progress is a powerful reading fluency tool that tracks a student’s reading skills
helping them to focus on specific areas of improvement
while quickly providing actionable insights for educators
educators and educational leaders have access to data and insights for individual students
Integrated seamlessly into Microsoft Teams for Education
Reading Progress simplifies the process of creating
It offers educators and reading specialists valuable data visualizations for both class and individual performance and growth
New enhancements including AI passage generation and AI comprehension questions generation help educators to save time while personalizing learning experiences for students’ needs
To gain a clearer picture of Reading Progress in the classroom, Microsoft partnered with LearnPlatform to evaluate the impact of the tool on FUSD K-6 students’ reading achievement
The study found a positive correlation between consistent Reading Progress usage and improved reading outcomes for kindergarten through sixth-grade students
students who regularly engaged with Reading Progress demonstrated two key improvements: higher reading accuracy and faster reading speeds
I used to do fluency individually with the students and it took so much valuable class time
they can push themselves to read independently
To ensure the findings about Reading Progress were reliable, researchers utilized an approach that meets the rigorous evidence standards for Level II (Moderate Evidence) under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
The research employed a quasi-experimental design
This approach compared students who used Reading Progress to those who did not
propensity score matching was used to create comparable groups of students
Researchers collected and analyzed data on:
The analysis showed that Reading Progress had a positive impact on student reading achievement
This was particularly noticeable for two cases: when students increased usage
and for students from disadvantaged backgrounds
Students using Reading Progress consistently showed significantly higher gains in iReady reading scores for both K-2 and grades 3-6 students compared to non-users
The average i-Ready score among Reading Progress users was 454: significantly higher than the average non-user score of 448
if a student at the 50th percentile had used Reading Progress
they would be expected to perform at the 54th percentile
it represents meaningful progress in reading achievement
Reading Progress was shown to benefit English language learners and students who qualified for free/reduced lunch
The average full year i-Ready score among English learners who used Reading Progress was 440
significantly higher than the average non-user score of 429
An English learner at the 50th percentile using Reading Progress would be expected to perform at the 59th percentile: a jump equivalent to roughly one full grade level
For Reading Progress users who qualified for free/reduced price lunch
their score was 451 as opposed to the average non-user score of 444
This translates to a possible 50th percentile to 55th percentile jump
indicating that Reading Progress can be a valuable tool in supporting diverse learner populations
According to elementary school teacher Idia Elegbede-Abode
and it helps me to better group the students
Reading Progress has also improved my students’ motivation
the parents have even been getting involved
With Reading Progress taking care of fluency
we can use precious class time to focus on comprehension.”
Students who used Reading Progress more frequently demonstrated higher reading accuracy and faster reading speeds
Seventy-eight percent of K-2 Reading Progress users submitted between two and five assignments per month that were
had a 10% higher average accuracy percentage across their assignments
the benefits of Reading Progress are that I can have alone time with every kid without having to have alone time with every kid
and I know exactly how they’re reading
83% of grade 3-6 Reading Progress users submitted 20 or fewer assignments
with those submitting more assignments scoring six points higher on their full year i-Ready Reading assessment
These findings suggest that increased engagement with Reading Progress correlates with improved reading performance
highlighting the potential benefits of consistent use
Reading Progress also really helps to drive my instruction
and hit what they really need to learn to become exceptional readers
they’ve become much better readers because they are far more aware of their own reading.”
Reading Progress is a valuable tool for improving literacy rates across grade levels
This study confirms that consistent use of Reading Progress maximized student benefits and enabled educators to leverage data to inform instruction and provide differentiated support to students
It even shows potential in reducing achievement gaps
Integrating Reading Progress into a literacy curriculum is simple
Educators can easily create a practice assignment with Reading Progress through Assignments in Microsoft Teams for Education
You can use your own Word or PDF file from your computer
Class Notebook or select a passage from the embedded ReadWorks library or use the new passage generator tool
Two AI-powered features have been added to Reading Progress
passage and comprehension question generation
Reviewing your students’ practice assignments in Reading Progress is straightforward
Easily jump to specific words in the video or audio recording and listen to individual students’ pronunciations
This comprehensive data analysis supports administrators in making informed decisions to enhance student outcomes

The architects and private family behind Melbourne's Caribbean Park business park are trying to create a unique environment that will be as relevant in 30 years’ time as it is now
Originally purchased by the Spooner family in 1945
the sprawling 200 hectare site represents one of the largest landholdings on Melbourne’s fringe at Scoresby (although now with the M3 and M1 freeways it’s just a short 20 minutes drive from the CBD)
The property is still owned and also managed by the same family
Caribbean Business Park was designed by architects Andrew Kings and Peter Ryan.Credit: Alex Reinders
Developed over a number of decades and now with more than 4,500 people working here
it’s surprising that the family’s grandson Ben Spooner
knows virtually everyone who comes and goes
“How many directors of a company this size knows that one of the gardeners travels two hours every day (one way) to work here,” says architect Andrew Kings
who has been involved with Caribbean Park for 20 years
with architect Peter Ryan in planning the park’s future
together with additional retail,” adds Kings
With a lake as the park’s centerpiece and manicured gardens by Oculus landscape architects
the two latest low-rise office buildings create another ‘piece in the puzzle’
where each piece is conceived from the ‘future backwards’
“The idea is to look back at this place in 30 years’ time and see that the design still has integrity and a high level of finish,” says Kings
with Ryan were as mindful of the spaces between buildings as the structures themselves
it’s about responding to the views of the lake and the broader landscape,” says Ryan
pointing out the vistas created between buildings
together with the generous curtain wall-style glazing
We want to continue to create a balance between work and home
We also didn’t want a design that was overly fussy or faddish
something that would already appear dated in a few years’ time,” says Spooner
‘engaging’ and ‘a place where family (of those working here) would feel comfortable dropping in’ also formed part of the Spooner family’s initial brief
here the latest addition includes underground car parking
The first thing one is greeted by is an airy cafe with an inverted pyramid-shaped roof for sun protection from the outdoors
There’s generous seating on the terrace of the cafe or alternatively a series of outdoor pods with built-in seating and wi-fi for more informal meetings
will add an additional 8,000 square metres to the Caribbean Business Park
a typical floor spaces extends up to 2,000 square metres
In a neighbouring building there’s Waterman
where there are individual tenancies including a bank
a barber’s shop and the ability to rent a desk or a fully enclosed office
from childcare to a gymnasium,” says Spooner
who was as mindful of the outdoor amenities as much as those indoors
with a portion of the vast estate given over to the Caribbean Gardens and Market that attracts thousands of people each week
Kings and Ryan were also mindful of views from the new offices over those below
features a roof garden (not for use) but simply to green the outlook
and shallow ponds cut a swathe through the central gardens
“People shouldn’t have to get in their cars at lunch time
They can either dine in the cafe (a restaurant for fine dining forms part of a later development currently under construction) or simply eat their lunches on the manicured grass,” says Ryan
The idea of business parks took hold in the 1970s
as businesses were keen to relocate from the CBD and inner areas
if not Melbourne’s largest in terms of land holdings
clearly demonstrates that with the right outlook and master planning
“It comes back to the Spooner family’s vision to create a unique environment that will be as relevant in 30 years’ time,” says Kings

Against Sri Lanka at Galle today (February 8), Alex Carey surpassed Adam Gilchrist’s record
becoming the first Australian wicketkeeper to record a 150-plus Test score in Asia
Carey achieved the feat on day three of the second Test between the two sides
he paddle-swept a ball from Prabath Jayasuriya to get to the milestone for the first time
not just in Test cricket but in all first-class cricket
Coming in at 91-3, Carey shared a 259-run stand with Steve Smith, who continued to enjoy his second wind by bringing up his 17th away Test ton
Carey’s innings was studded with 15 fours and two sixes
finally ended when Jayasuriya knocked back his off stump in the 93rd over
The record for the highest score by an Australia wicketkeeper in Asia was previously held by Gilchrist, who hit 144 runs on two occasions –once against Bangladesh and once against Sri Lanka. After becoming only the second Australian wicketkeeper to record a century in Asia on day two
Carey’s 156 is now the fifth-highest score by an Australian wicketkeeper overall
Gilchrist heads the list for his unbeaten 204 against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2022
his name features seven out of 12 times on the below-mentioned list
Australia secured a 157-run first-innings lead
The visitors lost their last seven wickets for just 64 runs
as Jayasuriya completed a five-wicket haul

and a new kind of anti-hero demanded a new kind of score
Morricone stepped forward with a completely revolutionary soundtrack for the time
and it catapulted the Italian composer to movie scoring stardom
A Fistful of Dollars • Main Theme • Ennio Morricone
Another Sergio Leone ‘Spaghetti Western’ – named for the cuisines of their Italian makers – called for another Morricone score
the Bad and the Ugly arguably became his most iconic
In it you find what have become instant sonic indicators for “you’re watching a western”
the Bad and the Ugly is the third film in Leone’s ‘Dollars Trilogy’
the preceding films being A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More
The plot revolves around three gunslingers competing to find a fortune in buried Confederate gold
Morricone’s most famous score combines a classic theme tune with electric guitars and dramatic vocal shrieks

an exquisite Italian song called ‘Chi Mai’ (‘Whoever’) went up to No.2 in the UK singles charts
It had been released as the soundtrack to the TV drama The Life and Times of David Lloyd George
which starred Philip Madoc as the final leader of the now-defunct liberal party
The song started life as part of Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack for Polish filmmaker Jerzy Kawalerowicz’s cult film
starring Italian actor Lisa Gastoni as a recently-divorced woman at the mercy of her own sexuality

Morricone might be associated with Spaghetti Westerns first
but the first Morricone score to be nominated for an Oscar was a romantic period drama
Days of Heaven is set in Texas’ 1916 pan-handling belt
and tells the story of farm labourer Bill convincing the woman he loves
The Terrence Malick film also scooped nominations for costume design and sound
and picked up the Oscar for Best Cinematography

While Morricone’s Once Upon a Time in the West scored a western
his assignment on Once Upon a Time in America was to inject a moving soundtrack into the story of gangsters navigating New York’s organised crime world
Starring Robert De Niro and Elizabeth McGovern
Sergio Leone’s final film was lauded with several awards
including a Best Original Score BAFTA for Morricone

Ennio Morricone's Oscar-nominated soundtrack for The Mission fuses baroque choirs with Amazonian drumming rhythms to evoke the culture-clash of 18th century Spanish Jesuits and the Guarani people of South America
Morricone’s ‘Gabriel’s Oboe’ melody remains one of his most beloved

until he is interrupted by local people who are halted and intrigued by the music

This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK)Ice slams into the brine. An avalanche follows like poured powdered sugar. A wave breaks with the boom of cannon fire. Moving to the safety of more remote waters, we survey the trauma from afar. The glacier growls once again.
“Good for the movies, not the environment,” says Bernabe when asked what he feels about the calving slab. “The glaciers are decaying too fast. It’s a tap that can’t be turned off.” He traces his fingers along the icecap’s grooves and between the two peaks that bookend the ice shelf’s onward rush into the sea. “It’s beautiful, but dangerous and scary at the same time.”
The next day, we learn to appreciate the intimate dance between bergs, floes and glaciers. Out on the water with Bernabe, it’s part education, part quiz, and I’m soon learning to work out an iceberg’s age, and even temperament, from its colour, with the different hues revealing details akin to a lonely-hearts advert, it turns out. Alabaster-white means young and bubbly, I’m told. Sapphire-blue is more mature, but still likes to travel. Black can be impulsive and dangerously flirty with boats.
“Your senses sharpen on land here, but as for things that can bite, chase or kill you, Greenland isn’t like other places in the Arctic,” says Sergey, one morning as we climb to a viewpoint overlooking Øfjord. “Fox, wolf and polar bear are scarce. So too are whale, orca and narwhal. Scoresby Sund is for landscapes on a scale you’ve probably never encountered before.”
I’m alone until the call to return to the ship, when we rejoin the sea and set course back to Iceland. By midafternoon, our vessel — the last arrival of this brief polar season — has left Scoresby Sund. By sunset, east Greenland is behind us, ablaze under a sky of fire, while wholly consumed by endless ice and deep Arctic silence.

THE heat in the Knox property market shifted in 2017 to the new buyer favourites of Upper Ferntree Gully
The four suburbs had median house price growth ranging from 16 to 23 per cent in the 12 months to September
Buyers pushed out of more expensive areas have turned to these areas to buy permanent and investment properties
Previously hot suburbs such as Wantirna South and Wantirna saw price growth moderate to around 13 per cent in 2017 after strong price growth in 2014-2015
24-26 Tresise Ave, Wantirna South, sold in December for $2.75 million to set a new suburb record price

Agents said buyers and investors have focused on less popular suburbs because they offered value for money and also had large blocks suited for subdivision and development
the Knox market was described as healthy by agents
The year saw auction clearance rates remain strong at between 70 and 80 per cent for much of the region
While clearance rate often soared above 90 per cent on some weeks
agents reported a drop-off in the number of bidders as the year progressed
“Some buyers are holding back and waiting for properties to be passed and preferring to negotiate,” Biggin & Scott Knox partner Emily Grainger said
10 Stradbroke Rd, Boronia, offered luxury features and sold quickly for $1.58 million
some vendors could have seven or eight offer for their properties but this decreased to three or four by year end
“The buyers are still out there and we see many are locals who are upgrading or downsizing
She nominated Boronia and Bayswater as the hot markets this year
attracting a wide range of buyers with affordable homes and also after infrastructure upgrades
“We see investors and developers snapping up blocks for immediate development or to hold on for the longer term,” Ms Grainger said
with this 10 Stradbroke Rd home offera prestige lifestyle
The strong demand in Knox continued from 2016 into 2017 but softened after spring
Ray White Ferntree Gully director Patrick McConnachie said
“There is now a better balance between supply and demand
Listings fell in winter but many homes came on the market in spring,” he noted
with many vendors well rewarded during the first nine months
“The year started strongly in January with high inspection numbers but inspections and offers per property have fallen slightly in the last quarter,” Mr McConnachie added
“The market is no longer favouring sellers in terms of huge buyer interest and high prices
But it is still a seller’s market due to strong demand.”

This interview contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of His Dark Materials
Lee Scoresby’s been heading for a big showdown for two seasons of His Dark Materials, and in Monday night’s Season 2 finale, he finally reaches it. At Alamo Gulch, as Philip Pullman calls the scene in his book The Subtle Knife
Lee holds off a zeppelin full of Magisterium soldiers long enough to give John Parry a chance to get away
and talked to Slate about what makes this death scene work
about playing a character who’s an icon for fans
and about Lee finding something worth fighting for
This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity
When you got the role of Lee a couple of years ago
how much of your excitement was about getting to play this final shootout
Like it’s one of the most heartbreaking ways to go in any literature I’ve read
I think the secret of it is that it’s not one death
I watched the reactions on social media when the episode aired in the U.K
because they are such a unit and we’ve gotten to love them both
and neither did we.” That speaks volumes of the futility of war
And when we are thrown into battles that are waged over ideas that are above our pay grade
But I also think that Lee’s belief in his personal cause—which is purely that Lyra might live—is heartbreaking because he goes all the way in
he’s kind of picking pockets and he’s in bar fights
He’s secure in who he is based on the way he banters with Hester
he finds someone to care about and someone to … He finds a cause in his life worth fighting for
Where did you film the scene and what was the experience like
We filmed it way up in the wilderness in Wales
One of the things I’m grateful for is that we filmed it sequentially
which has not always been the case on this show
Whenever you have a show that has a lot of effects
you’re filming Episode 4 this day and Episode 3 the next
we filmed the whole thing in order over the course of a week
So we got to Alamo Gulch on Monday and I was dead on Friday
and every step you see in that sequence happened in order
Did you have an on-set Hester to interact with
I had a brilliant puppeteer who also does lines for me
there’s a puppet there that gets erased in post and replaced by the CGI Hester
There’s a whole universe out there of readers who I’m sure you’ve encountered over the past couple of years for whom these characters really
How does it affect your work to play a character who’s in so many people’s heads already
because there’s already been an iconic Lee Scoresby [in the movie The Golden Compass]
So when the producers and Jack Thorne came to me and said, “We thought of you for Lee,” I went, “OK, this is just a different direction. They’re drawing more upon the young Lee of Once Upon a Time in the North.” And also
“When the Sun Goes Down,” is based on a Will and Lyra moment in that third book
And so I’ve also been really pleased to see that the line that the writers have taken with the show is kind of … faithful-plus
it’s faithful to the things that I think matter to me as a fan
It links Lee and Lyra in a very specific way
he senses a kinship with her that is chemical
But also that childhood that he faced is also something he and Mrs
the fact that he’s able to find a common ground with her is really unexpected
She’s kind of the big bad in the first book
but she grows into something so much more complicated because she really loves her daughter and would do anything for her
And getting to play with Ruth Wilson was like a dream that I didn’t think would happen
I have this great cast and I … see some of them.” I never see James McAvoy
Lee’s character is cut from a very old-fashioned storytelling cloth
He’s a cowboy hero and a marksman and a sly fox
how did you approach making him particular to you
That’s so interesting, because I feel like Latino representation in the classic Westerns is not … uh … not great, overall.
Not great, and that all used to be Mexico, guys.

What’s the inspiration behind Stanley Burgers and when did it open?
Scoresby isn’t ordinarily known for its restaurant hotspots. How and why were you drawn to this quiet eastern suburb?
I have lived in the Knox area with my family for over five years. It’s a unique suburb and I felt that it was in need of a unique food venue providing quality meals. My hope is to serve the current community and attract new residents to this area, but this is only the beginning. Our hope is that Stanley Burgers Scoresby is the first of many to open in the future.
Tell us a bit about the menu. It’s big on epic burgers and delicious shakes. What was the philosophy behind it?
Our exciting menu offers burgers named after famous beaches all around the world, each with their own unique ingredients and flavours. Our Mykonos Burger, for example, is packed with Greek souvlaki meat. The Waikiki Burger is named after a beach in Hawaii and provides tropical flavours with the addition of pineapple. Our Miami Burger features the famous American mac and cheese patty and our Miyakajima Burger features Japanese pancakes. We are excited to have a very wide selection.
What do you want your guests and diners to get out of their experience at Stanley Burgers?
Our hope is that our guests enjoy the exceptional flavours inspired by beaches in cities all over the world. Our aim is to provide quality dine in and takeaway experiences. We aim to serve luxurious burgers with the freshest, highest quality ingredients in a fun and relaxed environment.

The Donnybrook site will be incorporated into a housing estate called Olivine
Mirvac intends to replace it with a $1 billion housing estate containing a neighbourhood centre with retail and community facilities
Eleven hectares will be allocated for public space
“Consistent with other Mirvac projects, the Group is targeting the early activation of this amenity to set the foundations for a vibrant, resilient and sustainable new neighbourhood,” Mirvac head of residential, Stuart Penklis, said in this company statement
Mirvac will pay Boral development fees as it replaces the Wantirna South block
That quarry also spread across the two suburbs of Wantirna South and Scoresby. In 2010, Mirvac successfully applied to have the whole parcel gazetted Wantirna South
which carried a higher median house price than Scoresby
