1 Fig. 4 Retreat of two outlet glaciers in a similar climatic setting between 2015 and 2315 for the RCP 4.5 scenario. Retreat of two outlet glaciers in a similar climatic setting between 2015 and 2315 for the RCP 4.5 scenario. (A) Upernavik Isstrøm South (UIS) shows a gradual retreat of about 50 km over the next 200 years. (B) Store Gletscher (SG) is currently in a very stable position on a bedrock high. It takes almost a hundred years before substantial retreat happens. However, once the glacier loses contact with the bedrock high, retreat of 25 km occurs in less than a decade. The glacier retreats quickly until it is out of the water. Every line represents a year (A and B). (C) Location of the two outlet glaciers on the west coast, present-day observed surface speeds (61), and flow lines of Upernavik Isstrøm South and Store Gletscher (white dashed lines). Small inset shows area where the two glaciers are located. Andy Aschwanden et al.
