Abstract Calving has been studied for glaciers ranging from slow polar glaciers that calve on dry land, such as on Deception Island (63.0° S, 60.6° W) in Antarctica, through temperate Alaskan tide-water glaciers, to fast outlet glaciers that float in fiords and calve in deep water, such as Jakobshav...
