The problem with Polar Day is that I never want to go to sleep. I went for a walk at 10.30pm instead. Much colder than earlier, about -16 C but also clearer and a view (finally) of the mountains on the other side of the fjord. But now I think these two have the right idea. God nat alle...

The start of the mélange zone in front of Melville Glacier, massive and fresh icebergs formed an ice wall. Large calving event this week, slightly unusual so early in the year and with so much fast ice, unfortunately we missed recording it but our instruments will get the next one. Greenland loses around half of it's ice by calving so it's an important process to understand.
This glacier is clearly very dynamic.

It's an incredible field site, the glacier is continuously pushing and heaving and you can hear it while you're there. Lots of seals around on the sea ice too and many polar fox tracks...

Some long days and no internet so posting a few late pictures now with some fieldwork updates. Satellite image from ESA's Sentinel 2 mission, processed on snapplanet

Here's an animated gif showing 3 satellite images from #ESA #Sentinel2, 31st March, 9th and 13th April. At the start of April a big iceberg has calves off the front. The animation also shows the ice moving forward.
