- The fastest flowing glacier.
By the Disco Bay at the west coast of Greenland, we find the Illulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This fjord is the outlet of the glacier Sermeq Kujalleq, also called the Jakobshavn Isbræ. It is measured to be the fastest moving glacier in Greenland, and the glacier produces more ice bergs than any other in Greenland.
The rate of the glacier retreat is controlled by the fjord geometry. Today the glacier is by a tipping point, as further retreat will send the glacier front downhill.

I think there is some bupkiss in this .... The united states was covered with ice and now is not, pretty sure humans didn't exist then. ... You need to show us a timeline of prior melting
Watch "Chasing Ice."
@@sharigreen2112 Don't need to.... It's fiction.. almost 90% of all glaciers are in Antarctica and that ice has been growing not shrinking ....
