The start of the mélange zone in front of Melville Glacier, massive and fresh icebergs formed an ice wall. Large calving event this week, slightly unusual so early in the year and with so much fast ice, unfortunately we missed recording it but our instruments will get the next one. Greenland loses around half of it's ice by calving so it's an important process to understand.
This glacier is clearly very dynamic.
It's an incredible field site, the glacier is continuously pushing and heaving and you can hear it while you're there. Lots of seals around on the sea ice too and many polar fox tracks...
Some long days and no internet so posting a few late pictures now with some fieldwork updates. Satellite image from ESA's Sentinel 2 mission, processed on snapplanet
Not so #SilentSunday
It's snowing quite hard and about -10C. Hope it clears up by tomorrow as we are test flying the UAV tomorrow and plan to leave for the long trip Tuesday.
Welcome home to 77 degrees north...
Cloudy flight up from Ilulissat but a good view of the gorgeous icebergs in Melville Bugt. Lots of wind sculpted snow on the sea ice and a few fishing huts and dogs spotted from the plane ..
