Jakobshavn Glacier (Danish: Jakobshavn Isbræ), also known as Ilulissat Glacier (Greenlandic: Sermeq Kujalleq), is a large outlet glacier in West Greenland. It is located near the Greenlandic town of Ilulissat (colonial name in Danish : Jakobshavn ) and ends at the sea in the Ilulissat Icefjord .
The event produced an unprecedented very long period (VLP) seismic event observable on seismic stations worldwide for up to nine days. [6] The wave was caught in a narrow fjord which caused the wave to continue to slosh back and forth off the walls for the entire time, [ 7 ] resulting in a global seismic vibration, picked up all over the world ...

A NASA study revealed a glacier that was one of the fastest-shrinking ice and snow masses on Earth is making an unexpected comeback. Greenland's glacier, named Jakobshavn, was retreating roughly 1 ...
The Greenland Ice Sheet lost 5,091 sq km (1930 sq miles) of area between 1985 and 2022, according to a study in the journal Nature published on Wednesday, the first full ice-sheet wide estimate of ...
The glacier has been in a quiescent state since, although there are suggestions it will reach the required pre-surge conditions by 2027–2030. Grounding-line retreat is noted by the same article to be approximately 400m/yr, and the "dynamic cycling" of temperature and precipitation (which alters glacier mass-balance) is thought to be causing this.
The glacier was a northern offshoot of the Nioghalvfjerdsbrae glacier as it split either side of Hovgaard Island. [1] The main flow of the Nioghalvfjerdsbrae flows eastward out into Nioghalvfjerd Fjord while a smaller branch, the Spalte Glacier, flowed north into Dijmphna Sound.
In recent days, Greenland’s massive ice sheet has been melting at twice its average summer rate, shedding enough water to cover the entire state of Florida with 5 inches of water, research from ...
