This paper describes a unique record of glacier flow instability for East Greenland during the Little Ice Age. Trace metal analysis of sediment cores collected during 1998 from the Noret Inlet in the Mesters Vig area of East Greenland shows two peaks in the molybdenum (Mo) record at 495 ± 40 years b...
