The Helheim Glacier’s calving face can be seen in this image as of April 8, 2021 with intact chunks of ice breaking off into a fjord in Greenland, denoted by darker areas in 50cm very high resolution SAR imagery as the glacier shifts eastward into the water. The Helheim Glacier is very fast moving, and sentinel data can’t keep up with the glacier’s rapid movement. On-demand, real-time SAR data can help glaciologists monitor glacier movement.
