Petermann glacier observed by the ERS-1 in 1991

Almost 19 years ago to the day, this 19 August 1991 ERS-1 SAR image shows a much longer ice-tongue protruding further towards Nares Strait, a few days before the calving of three large icebergs. The dot line across the glacier indicates the line of fracture of the icebergs in 1991.
