Can you even imagine the amount of shaved ice for martinis one could obtain from that hunk of ice. Similar actions over the eons in that part of Greenland probably have repeated the particular activity hundreds of times over the past thousand cycles. What should be brought out is that this particular area contains the few ground stations left in all of Canada, and respective Greenland.
It always is a "hot spot" in that vast area. Go a few hundred miles westward or northward and the temp gradients are different. Colder through all seasons. I can remember this point being brought out in one of Rusbo's rants some six or more years ago, as he was examining the ground station weather activities in that region.
Same deal. One witnessed the breaking off of parts of the protruding glaciers on the Greenland coast.
Normal for that particular geology.

If you ever tasted glacier ice, you would never consider it for consumption again.

Thousands of years of capturing bird poop, dust, etc along with the snow needed to form glacier ice makes a very nasty tasting ice/water. Sadly, I know this from direct experience. My mouth is puckering up now just remembering the experience from years ago.
