Wow, those are incredible pictures, especially the ones showing the calved icebergs.

Massive tabular icebergs. You cannot get a sense of scale from the satellite pictures. The photos are awesome!

Breaking News
I have been waiting for this to happen for a while, but via other sources I can now see the calving session is underway, this calving session could well be the largest calving session since Zachariae Isstrøm was separated from the former tongue in 2012, it could be larger than the well known calving session at Jakobshavn Isbræ in August 14 - 16 2015. My prelimerary estimates is it could be up to 13 km2.

The animation below show: The potential calving area is marked with red color. And the animation in the black box show the calving event at Jakobshavn Isbræ August 14 - 16 2015 (same scale).

Thanks for this information  - the first breaking news since I visit this forum.
Let's look which part will break down and whether this will be one big simple event or a row of consecutive smaller calvings. Any guess when it will happen?

Hello Stephan the reason I call it a session, is to avoid some clever persons arguing about the size of the calving, because most calvings or 99,9...% is more than just one action it is a series of actions. It will for sure be a large calving, how large we will see? The calving session as I see it has allready started.

Yeah, I thought it was transparency. But the 3 melt lakes in the upper left were in exact same location 20 years ago. It's the underlying topography of course, but still notable.

And notice the sea ice outside the island barrier in 1999, 3 years later in 2002 all the sea ice broke up including the Zach Bay area, letting a lot of debris out of the bay trap, probably one big reason for the retreat and different calving activity at Zachariae Isstrøm later, the backpressure was not there anymore.

With all that warm water underneath, how long into the fall/winter can we expect this to continue??  Can this break to the first grounding line in the near future?  Isn't that a  somewhat scary eventuality?

Several Danish newspaper are spreading a "canard" involving Jason Box, claiming Spaltgletscher calved, which did not happen, as usual papers gets all the facts wrong:

http://www.b.dk/nationalt/isflage-river-sig-loes-efter-groenlandsk-varmerekord

http://jyllands-posten.dk/indland/trafik/ECE8999622/gigantisk-groenlandsk-isflage-har-revet-sig-loes-efter-varmerekord/

Indeed some 3 years and 10 month's ago since the last discussion.  This time the whole foot has become detatched at the ankle. I wonder if it will even get picked up in today's new cycle...

The whole north leg of the glacier seems to detach. The 79N glacier is said to be anchored at Lynn O, and the small islands that stretch from north to south. If the Spaltegletscher part detaches, the sun-warmed seawater can attack the anchorpoint from the back. We might see a Vavilov ice cap like collapse on an enormous scale.

Impressive. It waited all those years, but then went all at once.
I wonder if this will affect the big neighbor 79N. In principle it could help speed it up, due to removal of some resistance, but not sure if the effect is significant.

I dont expect anything unsual from this event, but I am surprised the calves could depart that easily I expected them be grounded all these years.

Intresting that three meltponds about 10km upstream drained simultaneously with this calving

That is the floating part of the glacier. The grounding is way up, at the west outlet of lake Blaso. There is a 900! m trench below it, and the ice tongue we se from lake Blaso to the sea outlet is tapering from 500 m to 50 m at the end. There is a very good discussion of the underwater topography in this book. https://books.google.hu/books?id=BgQmDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA90&lpg=PA90&dq=Bl%C3%A5s%C3%B8+lake+greenland&source=bl&ots=Pv8y-pE18Z&sig=ACfU3U3LOSWeWlq_bNWEphlwQoOBJlJosA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjOpcqV_rDqAhVTVsAKHSchCo8Q6AEwAnoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=Bl%C3%A5s%C3%B8%20lake%20greenland&f=false

This is the main reason why i fear for an ice stream starting here. The 79N is held back by the island chain and it rests on some 100 m thick ice. But the calving of the Splaltegletscher brougth the sun warmed sea water front 20 km closer to the back end of the 79N main stream, that is only 50 m thick. There is documented history of the gletscher surging, when it calves back behind the NOIB. See fig 4.16 in the link.

I think we are seeing serious far reaching consequences that may be attributed to these glaciers discharging dense silt laden freshwaters that avalanche down the seafloor to the deeps of the amundsun basin and gakkel trench system showing up in the ITP111 transect that has just been retrieved.
There are visible many small and one major upwellings of warm freshwater, and often very warm and saline entrained below or alongside, from far below the maximum depth range. From about the point the buoy crossed the gakkel in april, the halocline stability essentially collapsed with less than 0.5 psu separating surface and the huge wad of heat from ~100-500m depth. Some geothermal heat may have been brought up by this over the trench.
Its a little hard to wrap your head around whats going on in some of these spikes, but realising that 1000m rise in the water column of a parcel of water means 2.5C drop in temp due to expansion helps.
 
The buildup of subtropical Atlantic currents anticlockwise around Greenland, and even reading 33psu and over six degrees at surface as it exits from beneath the CAA ice is disturbing. Eric Rignot expressed surprise in detecting Atlantic water coming in from nares strait to the nth and attacking the base of the humbolt in the Kane basin on his sampling trip last year. He shouldn't have been surprised. This system change has been pretty obviously building for at least three years. People are witholding data unfortunately.
The catastrophic cascade collapse in the near Future of the GIS is not something many want to be heard talking about. 🙄

A longer term view at the ZI calving front (center left), and my pet interest - its old disconnected tongue (center right). Every year it loses some nibbles. When it's gone from the bay, I fear melting and calving activity might be enhanced at the ZI front.
The calving front shows some ongoing losses over the years, except maybe in 2018.
The image dates are Sep 15th 2016, Sep 10th 2017, Aug 12th 2018, Aug 21st 2019, Aug 4th 2020.

p.s. One can see how the location of melt ponds repeats every year despite glacier advance, following underlying topography.

p.p.s. I have never noticed until today the huge gray lake at the southern end of Lambert Land (top left), though it's been there for a long time. I wonder what happens when it connects with the calving front.

That glacial milk-filled (I'm sure) lake appears to me to have a surface little different from sea level, so when the glacier retreats to it, little (else) will change.  A tongue with water on two sides may retreat faster, but just maybe.  Just my semi-educated guesses.
Arctic ice is healthy for children and other living things because "we cannot negotiate with the melting point of ice"

Sea ice in Jokel Bay is breaking up, and the ZI icebergs are being flushed. IIRC this is rather early in the season. This happens every 2-3 years, and IMHO can speed up calving of more icebergs that are barely holding on, due to loss of buttressing.
Espen please correct any errors.

p.s. Pardon the coarse Worldview resolution. Animation ends 3 days ago, only clouds since then. Best to increase page zoom or else it's very hard to see anything.

I looked at polarveiw earlier they have an image covering the whole area from 79N south  the sea is on the move and there's some separation from the old tongue. I don't normally comment on the weather but it looks to me like it's been raining all day, can someone confirm or refute?

That fills in a couple of missing days, especially the tenth. Which seems before the main burst, visible clearly on Worldviews. Not sure how much went through and under the Melange field, or however many hundreds of meters thick it is but the flow over the top suggest it could have passed 1 million tonnes per second at peak.
The whole Melange field moved ,parts over 10km in 5 days up to the 6 August, and extended up the inland  lakes on the sides of the main ice sheet, by the worldviews on the 11th.
Cloudy on 12th unfortunately. Perhaps lots of local humidity.

 :( First two are back to front sorry. Full lake and aquifer about to burst on the 10th, the first shot.

The best S1 shots from 9th to 12th, dates and times in filenames.
It looks like there were two major outbursts, one on the tenth, one early on the twelfth.

The largest calving I ever observed at Zachariae Isstrøm happened between August 21 and August 22 2020 the size of it all around 15 km2. The red line indicate the new calvingfront.
