Petermann Glacier, one of Greenland’s largest glaciers that ends at the ocean, is thinning, retreating, and its flow is accelerating.

Retreat at Petermann Glacier
Decades of retreat are visible from above, but harder-to-see changes below the waterline could also affect this iconic glacier’s future.go.nasa.gov
As the glacier stretches and thins, it becomes more prone to rifts that can break and form icebergs.
This @nasa @usgs #Landsat 8 image shows a rift on the floating ice tongue, acquired on May 14, 2023. go.nasa.gov/43bj6ra
