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.
Nioghalvfjerdsbræ), sometimes referred to as "79 N Glacier", is a large glacier located in King Frederick VIII Land, northeastern GreenlandIt drains an area of 103,314 km 2 (39,890 sq mi) of the Greenland Ice Sheet with a flux (quantity of ice moved from the land to the sea) of 14.3 km 3 (3.4 cu mi) per year, as measured for 1996.

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 documentary includes scenes from a glacier calving event that took place at Jacobshavn Isbræ in Greenland, lasting 75 minutes, the longest such event ever captured on film. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Two EIS videographers waited several weeks in a small tent overlooking the glacier and, finally, witnessed 7.4 cubic kilometres (1.8 cu mi) of ice crashing ...
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 ...
Ilulissat Icefjord. The fjord contains the Jacobshavn Isbræ (Greenlandic: Sermeq Kujalleq), the most productive glacier in the Northern Hemisphere.The glacier flows at a rate of 20–35 m (66–115 ft) per day, resulting in around 20 billion tonnes of icebergs calved off and passing out of the fjord every year.
Normally, cracks in a glacier wouldn't be much cause for concern, but this one is troubling. Scientists noticed the rift while looking at satellite images. Normally, cracks in a glacier wouldn't ...
As part of a comprehensive survey of Greenland's glaciers that was published in 2006, scientists documented that the mass balance—the sum of gains through snow accumulation and losses through iceberg calving and melting—of Kong Oscar and Greenland's other north-western glaciers was strongly negative between 1996 and 2005: they lost more ice than they gained.
