Stripy cliffs in Segelsällskarpet Fjord, Northeast Greenland National Park, autor GRIDArendal

1,900m-high, stripy cliffs in Segelsällskarpet Fjord. The colourful layers are part of the Eleonore Bay group and are made up of alternating layers of limestones, dolomites, mud rocks and quartzite's. Northeast Greenland National Park (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaanni nuna eqqissisimatitaq, Danish: Grønlands Nationalpark) is the world's largest and most northerly national park. Established in 1974 and expanded to its present size in 1988, it protects 972,001 km2 of the interior and northeastern coast of Greenland and is bigger than all but thirty countries in the world. It was the first national park to be created in the Kingdom of Denmark and remains Greenland's only national park.
