Petermann update:
In the animation below you will find 4 spots of interest.
1. A fissure to crack development, although this crack is a part of the melt water channel system, it is also a crack on its own, and a possible mother crack for a future major calving.
2. This crack, just outside Belgrave and Hubert Glaciers, will probably already this season result in a minor calving.
3. The 2 cracks seen left of Faith Gletscher, will probably soon result in a worth to mention calving.
4. Between May 25 2014 and June 27 2014, Petermann Gletscher moved ~ 120 meters, measured at the major melt water river outlet.
