Jakobshavn is Greenland’s fastest-moving glacier, and the flow rate is variable with spurts of speed in the summer and additional variation from year to year.When an ice tongue such as the Jakobshavn calves, the glacier feeding that ice tongue typically accelerates. Reduced friction between the intact glacier and the bedrock, and reduced buoyancy from the seawater (which partially offsets the glacier’s downhill flow) mean less resistance to glacier movement. Warming conditions in the Arctic contribute to glacier acceleration in multiple ways. Warmer conditions can send meltwater to the glacier’s base, increasing lubrication and consequently glacier speed. During the winter, the rate of iceberg calving usually slows significantly; the glacier tongue advances, and its flow speed drops. Warm winters, however, may allow iceberg calving and high flow rates to continue.Since 2000, Greenland has lost some 739 gigatons of ice, and approximately 30 percent of that loss came from Jakobshavn and four other glaciers || ", "hits": 33 }, { "id": 13470, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13470/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2019-12-09T14:00:00-05:00", "title": "Operation IceBridge - Greenland Melt", "description": "Each spring and summer, as the air warms up and the sunlight beats down on the Greenland ice sheet, sapphire-colored ponds spring up like swimming pools. As snow and ice melt atop the glaciers, the water flows in channels and streams and collects in depressions on the surface. The ponds provide an important indicator of how much the ice sheet is melting in a given year.Not only are melt ponds indicators of melt, but they also hint at how fast glaciers will shed ice into the sea. Melt ponds drain to the base of the ice sheet through crevasses. Flowing between the ice and the underlying bedrock, the water lubricates the bottom of the glacier, allowing it to flow more smoothly over the land surface and to shed ice more quickly at the coasts.Melting also darkens the ice sheet surface. Fresh snow is bright white; when it melts, older and darker ice is exposed. Old ice can be as much as 30 percent less reflective than the younger, brighter snow. The darker old ice absorbs more energy, which leads to more melting and further darkening of the glacial surface. || ", "hits": 172 }, { "id": 13471, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13471/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2019-12-09T14:00:00-05:00", "title": "Operation IceBridge - Icebergs", "description": "Icebergs start as land ice—snow that has accumulated on land and, over the course of many years, has been compacted into ice.

During Northern Hemisphere spring and summer months, the Arctic sea ice melts considerably, usually reaching its minimum extent in September, before colder weather begins to cause ice cover to increase during fall and winter months. This series of images shows Arctic sea ice extent for a selection of years using data from AMSR-E and AMSR2. The burgundy area represents the median sea ice extent observed by satellite sensors in September from 1979 to 2000. Over the last few decades, the average global temperature has been on the rise—and temperatures in the Arctic have risen at nearly twice the rate as temperatures elsewhere on the planet. As temperatures rise in the Arctic, the extent of sea ice declines. Sea ice is highly reflective of the sun’s energy; therefore, reductions in sea ice impact Earth’s radiation budget. Rather than reflecting most of the sun’s energy, ice-free areas absorb sunlight causing subsequent warming of the ocean. || ", "hits": 18 }, { "id": 4440, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4440/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2016-03-28T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Arctic Sea Ice Maximum - 2016", "description": "An animation of the Arctic sea ice from September 7th, 2015 through March 24th, 2016 with datesThis video is also available on our YouTube channel. || Arctic_sea_ice_2016.1499_print.jpg (1024x576) [105.4 KB] || Arctic_sea_ice_2016_wDate_p30_1080p.mp4 (1920x1080) [15.0 MB] || Arctic_sea_ice_2016_wDate_1080p60.mp4 (1920x1080) [16.6 MB] || Arctic_sea_ice_2016_p30_1080p.webm (1920x1080) [2.8 MB] || seaIce_wDate (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || seaIce_wDate (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || Arctic_seaIce_2016_wDate_4k_p30_2160p.mp4 (3840x2160) [58.3 MB] || seaIce_wDate (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || seaIce_wDate (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || Arctic_seaIce_2016_wDate_4k_2160p30x2.mp4 (3840x2160) [99.4 MB] || ", "hits": 47 }, { "id": 4368, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4368/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2015-10-20T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Maximum Antarctic Sea Ice 2015", "description": "Above is an image of the Antarctic sea ice on October 6, 2015, the day on which it reached its annual maximum extent.
