   Ilulissat Icefjord. The fjord contains the Jakobshavn Glacier (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.

   Jakobshavn Glacier (Danish: Jakobshavn Isbræ), also known as Ilulissat Glacier (Greenlandic: Sermeq Kujalleq), is a large outlet glacier in West Greenland.

   The documentary includes scenes from a glacier calving event that took place at Jakobshavn Glacier 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 ...

   An iceberg in the Arctic Ocean Icebergs in Greenland as filmed by NASA in 2015. An iceberg is a piece of freshwater ice more than 15 meters (16 yards) long [1] that has broken off a glacier or an ice shelf and is floating freely in open water. [2] [3] Smaller chunks of floating glacially derived ice are called "growlers" or "bergy bits".

8. Climate change in the Arctic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_in_the_Arctic

   Greenland has had major glaciers and ice caps for at least 18 million years, [57] but a single ice sheet first covered most of the island some 2.6 million years ago. [58] Since then, it has both grown [59] [60] and contracted significantly. [61] [62] [63] The oldest known ice on Greenland is about 1 million years old. [64]

9. Greenland ice sheet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_ice_sheet

   The paper also suggested that ice losses from Greenland may be reversed by reducing temperature to 0.6 °C (1.1 °F) or lower, up until the entirety of South Greenland ice melts, which would cause 1.8 m (6 ft) of sea level rise and prevent any regrowth unless CO 2 concentrations is reduced to 300 ppm. If the entire ice sheet were to melt, it ...
