Must be cucumber time (silly season)?
Maybe Denmark had an internet outage first week of Sept, so they couldn't access EarthExplorer, Google Earth or prior scientific papers?
There's a very interesting story going on with Spaltegletscher but not the one being told. It really has to do with Antarctica where the floating ice shelves are being undermined by warmer ocean waters, not Greenland and warmer air temperatures.
The rapidity with which Spaltegletscher is disintegrating is quite remarkable. To see that, it's a good idea to look at the last 10-15 years of Landsat-7/8 imagery which is available with 10-15 minutes of effort at EarthExplorer.
While the 10 meter Sentinel 2A imagery is a great improvement over Landsat, recall that WorldView satellites have truly fabulous resolution, sub-meter. While proprietary, there's a scientific license and even better, free and immediate availability of back dates at Google Earth if you just click on the clock icon in GE Pro.
The first image below shows ice shelf drainage details in front of the splitting island, the second the fracture tip on 27 July 2013, and the third a fully propagated crack that had not resulted in calving three years later.
The second and fourth image show extensive blue water in what could be termed the central melt channel collector instead of suture zone (as above), though this only raises new questions as to why the ice shelf is lower here, where the water drains, what accounts for the extreme meandering, and why it is not central as at Petermann. The elevated fold, which casts shadows at this high resolution, remains an unexplained oddity as does the point of compression wave refraction.
Here is a 12 year series, to be discussed in a subsequent post. Basically Spaltegletscher is undergoing a rapid and recent collapse, even if it hasn't yet calved. Landsat-7 developed a scan line problem after 2003; EarthExplorer is seriously underwater right now with a ten day delay even for current imagery.
