Here we use a variety of remote sensing data sets to characterize the evolving extent, surface features, dynamics, and surface elevations of Split Lake Glacier, a small outlet of the Prince of Wales Icefield, Nunavut. The glacier started advancing between 1959 and 1975, with a continued increase in...
