Petermann Glacier is a magnificent outlet glacier Greenland and it drains about 4% of the ice sheet.
The title says it all: in spite of what you might have heard, it's not growing. If you're interested in finding out how we know it's not, even though some people think it might be and what is likely next for this glacier, read on.

I guess an implication of this might be that increasing melt and hence subglacial disposal will contribute to increased seasonal acceleration?
