Kangerdlugssuaq Glacier, Tidewater outlet glacier in Sermersooq, Greenland.
Kangerlussuaq Glacier flows into the second largest fjord of East Greenland, releasing numerous icebergs into the North Atlantic Ocean.
The glacier experienced a significant change between 2004 and 2005, retreating 5 kilometers and modifying the regional ice discharge patterns.
Scientists from multiple nations conduct research at Kangerlussuaq Glacier to study climate patterns and their effects on Greenland's communities.
Satellite monitoring stations track the movements and changes of the glacier, providing data about ice thickness and velocity measurements.
This glacier accounts for approximately 5 percent of all ice discharge from the Greenland ice sheet, influencing global sea levels.
