Mittivakkat Glacier

Mittivakkat Glacier

The Mittivakkat Glacier is located in SE Greenland, part of the largest icefield on Ammassalik Island. This glacier has been in retreat (negative net mass balance) throughout most of recorded history (1898–2008).

Reindeer bones were recovered from the retreating glacier in 2005, and dated to about 1200-1300 AD.
