Issue with the SMB model. We are currently unable to produce images in the categories "surface", "meltarea" and "permafrost".

Surface Conditions

Daily updates on the surface conditions on the Greenland Ice Sheet. See where it is melting and where the ice sheet is growing – and compare with the total melt from the surface in previous years. See also satellite measurements of the surface reflectivity.

Glacier Front Positions

See animations of satellite images of major outlet glaciers of the Greenland Ice Sheet. You can compare the updated images with the positions of the glaciers in the mid-1980s and in the year 2000.

Mass and Height Change

New data until July 2025.

Follow the total mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet and its contribution to global sea-level. See animations that show how the ice sheet grows and diminishes through the year.

Frozen Ground

Follow the evolution of ground temperature.
