During the early twenty-first century, the Greenland Ice Sheet experienced the largest ice mass loss on instrumental record. An analysis of sand deposition in Sermilik Fjord, off Helheim Glacier in east Greenland, suggests that despite strong variability over the past 120 years, similarly high rates of iceberg calving have only occurred once before, in the 1930s.
