Abstract
On 19 and 20 August 1984, an ice-marginal lake drained through a subglacial tunnel beneath the ede of the Greenland ice sheet, discharging about 22.3 × 106 m3 of water in less than 19 h. The event, which may occur annually, modified ice-margin dynamics at the lake site and along a 3 km stretch of ice margin 11 km down-stream.Keywords
