We constructed high-temporal resolution time series of terminus position for Helheim and Kangerdlugssuaq glaciers, two major outlet glaciers of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Both glaciers terminate at tidewater in deep fjords. Calving front positions for each glacier are derived from ~daily resolution sa...
