The Mittivakkat Glacier is located in southeast Greenland, and is part of the largest ice field on Ammassalik Island. This glacier has been in retreat (negative net mass balance) throughout most of recorded history (1898–2008). [1] Reindeer bones were recovered from the retreating glacier in 2005, and dated to about 1200-1300 AD. [2]

Researchers combed through hundreds of thousands of historical photos of Greenland's coastal glaciers to identify new trends. Greenland glaciers are melting twice as fast as they did in the 2000s ...
The Waltershausen Nunatak is a large nunatak in the upper section of the glacier and Bartholin Land is a land area on the northern side. [2] The Jakob Kjøde Bjerg, a large 1,850 m (6,070 ft) high nunatak, rises off the northwestern side of the head of the glacier; to the west of it flows the Adolf Hoel Glacier. [2]
