Just a little south of Sverdrup Gletscher, the large Steenstrup Gletscher is found. As can be seen in the animation below, the glacier is showing some spring strength:

Chudley et al: Steenstrup retreat

"between 2018 and 2021, retreated ~7 km, thinned ~20%, doubled in discharge, and accelerated ~300%."

Hello Sidd

The glacier mentioned below is K.J.V. Steenstrup Gletscher in South East Greenland, just to be clear. But both glaciers are named after the same person :

Looking at the map in https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,417.msg365503.html#new I can see where the other Steenstrup glacier is located, but after a quick search I don't think there is a thread for it, though Espen has opened a large number of threads for nearly all glaciers,
