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.

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.
