Flade Isblink, Ice cap in Northeast Greenland National Park, Greenland.

Flade Isblink extends over 8,500 square kilometers with two prominent ice domes and reaches a thickness of 600 meters above sea level.

Danish explorer Lauge Koch identified and named this ice formation during aerial surveys conducted between 1931 and 1934 in East Greenland.

Indigenous communities of northern Greenland adapted their traditional hunting and fishing practices to the presence of this massive ice formation.

Station Nord, located northwest of the ice cap, serves as the primary access point for researchers studying glacial movements and environmental changes.

A depression in the shape of a mitten formed on the surface in 2015 when an underground lake released water through the ice structure.
