Time lapse photographs taken at two locations in Sermilik Fjord, East Greenland. (1) Photographs of the terminus of Helheim Glacier taken by a camera at 66.33081264 -38.17600834; (2) Photographs of the melange in the upper part of Sermilik Fjord taken by a camera at 66.30298333, -37.8867000. Images were acquired nominally every 6 hrs, depending on adequate illumination. Instrument was a Stardot NetCam XL5. Data are supplied in a single unix tape archive (tar.gz) which can be inflated and opened across platforms and operating systems. The tape archive contains two folders, one for "terminuscam" which overlooks Helheim Glacier, and "melangecam" which overlooks upper Sermilik Fjord. Individual camera folders are further separated by year of acquisition. Individual images are in jpeg format, with day-of-year of acquisition in the file name.
