International audience Denman Glacier, East Antarctica, holds an ice volume equivalent to a 1.5 m rise in global sea level. Using satellite radar interferometry from the COSMO‐SkyMed constellation, we detect a 5.4 ± 0.3 km grounding line retreat between 1996 and 2017–2018. A novel reconstruction of...
