The temporal variability in calving front positions of marine-terminating glaciers permits inference on the frontal ablation. Frontal ablation, the sum of the calving rate and the melt rate at the terminus, significantly contributes to the mass balance of glaciers. Therefore, the glacier area has been declared as an Essential Climate Variable product by the World Meteorological Organization. The presented dataset provides the necessary information for training deep learning techniques to automate the process of calving front delineation. The dataset includes Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images of seven glaciers distributed around the globe. Five of them are located in Antarctica: Crane, Dinsmoore-Bombardier-Edgeworth, Mapple, Jorum and the Sjörgen-Inlet Glacier. The remaining glaciers are the Jakobshavn Isbrae Glacier in Greenland and the Columbia Glacier in Alaska. Several images were taken for each glacier, forming a time series. The time series lie in the time span between 1995 and 2020.
