  1. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ ICYMI: 🧊🌊 #Calving is the term for when large pieces of #ice break off #glaciers in a thunderous, impressive spectacle, creating new #icebergs.

    This #video of #Monacobreen, a tidewater glacier in #Svalbard, #Norway, provides a good demonstration of calving and the #waves it can create.

  5. The summer solstice is #Greenland's National Day

    PILLUARIT!

    Slightly unusually, the ablation season (net ice loss from melt) has yet to start in Greenland, surface melt is average for the time of year. Fresh snow is also still adding ice to the #IceSheet.

    A start to the surface ablation season after the 21st June has only happened 4 times since 2000 - but was much more common in in the 80s + 90s.
    Remember though - #ice is still lost by #calving of #icebergs

  6. Underwater Tsunami Created By Collapse Of Antarctic Glacier’s Front End

    The front end of #glaciers in #Antarctica that flow to the coast break apart due to melting, creating #icebergs. These are known as #calving events, and they can have dramatic consequences. Not only are large chunks of ice then free to move and reach lower latitudes, the process can also create powerful β€œinternal #tsunamis” that profoundly alter the #ocean.
