The calving face of the Jakobshavn Isbrae Glacier, where the end of the glacier meets the sea and begins to crumble into icebergs.

Grounded Ice Margin

The Greenland ice sheet terminates along this so-called grounded ice margin near the town of Ilulissat. Here, ice is loss by melting rather than iceberg calving as when glaciers meet the sea.
