Uummannaq Fjord

Ice melt in the Uummannaq Fjord in Greenland is seen in this Overview. The edges of Greenland’s ice sheet melt every summer; however, because the sheet is steepest at the edge, and flatter towards the middle, the warming of summer exposes a larger area of ice to melting every year. This particular Fjord is the second largest in eastern Greenland behind the Kangertittivaq Fjord.
