Rink Glacier, west Greenland NASA picture of the southern part of Romer Lake with the Elephant Foot Glacier.. This is a list of glaciers in Greenland.Details on the size and flow of some of the major Greenlandic glaciers are listed by Eric Rignot and Pannir Kanagaratnam (2006) [1]
It is located near the Greenlandic town of Ilulissat (colonial name in Danish: Jakobshavn) and ends at the sea in the Ilulissat Icefjord. Jakobshavn Glacier drains 6.5% of the Greenland ice sheet [1] and produces around 10% of all Greenland icebergs. Some 35 billion tonnes of icebergs calve off and pass out of the fjord every year.

The Humboldt Glacier borders the Kane Basin in North West Greenland. Its front is 110 km (68 mi) wide. It has been retreating in the period of observation spanning 1975–2010.

The Rink Glacier is the largest glacier on the west coast of Greenland. Its terminus is in the Karrat Fjord, Nordost Bay, Baffin Bay, North Atlantic Ocean. [1]It drains an area of 30,182 km 2 (11,653 sq mi) of the Greenland Ice Sheet with a flux (quantity of ice moved from the land to the sea) of 12.1 km 3 (2.9 cu mi) per year, as measured for 1996. [2]
