Stuff it, never said that Calving was caused by melting...
Second, what on the friction? Landscapes have changed through Millenia by the grinding of glaciers on top of them...see the northwest.
Third as for ur Fissure issues....for “God”s sake read a bit before relying on your limited knowledge base. Here are a few articles...

If you want to google Icequakes, I am sure you will find plenty more...
Then express yourself better

Again, actually READ what I post for a change, I stated that the movement of the ice is insufficient to cause melting winnie. I have lived near, worked in and mapped plenty of glaciated terrains winnie - glacial geomorphology was one of my favorite subjects.
Third as for ur Fissure issues....for “God”s sake read a bit before relying on your limited knowledge base. Here are a few articles...
For starters, your links state NOTHING about fissures/crevasses. My statement was correct - your your simple knowledge as an adequate description can be found here
So, for review you stated specifically . . you have much more melt that was is normally caused by the friction between ice and land.... This melting creates fissures and cracks that pop when form or even when it calves....
So accuately depict the facts winnie, before telling some one to 'stuff it'.
Some activity playing out in Iceland today...
The volcano I was most concerned wtih under Vatnajokull glacier is likely associated with this latest swarm up there.

The quakes are locating at an area known as Dyngjujokull which is fissure rich.
This graph plot suggests rising magma.

This Glacier was connected to the little ice age climate variations.
