Kangerdlugssuaq, the largest outlet glacier on Greenland’s east coast, is one of 12 fast flowing outlet glaciers that discharge ice into the surrounding oceans. Its rate of flow more than doubled between 2000 and 2005 reaching a speed of 14 km per year or 1.6 meters per hour. It has since slowed. During this same period mean summer temperature at coastal weather stations along southeastern Greenland increased 1.1° C.
