| Fig. 1 Remember the Blob? |
Likewise, several years ago Dredd Blog postulated that "the Blob" (Fig. 1) would make its way to Greenland and impact tidewater glaciers there (e.g. The Question Is: How Much Acceleration Is Involved In SLR? - 4, New Continent Found - Garbage Gyre II - 9).
The expectations I had also included sea ice melt.
These Oil-Qaeda induced events (caused by burning fossil fuels, thereby increasing the quantity of green house gases dumped into the Earth's atmosphere), have both short-term visible impacts, but they also have long term impacts such as sea level change.
One impact was that 2017 was the Warmest Year on Record for the Global Ocean (PDF).
NASA and other scientists concur with the expectation that Dredd Blog had, in terms of impact on the Cryosphere, as shown by this sampling of news:
"‘We’ve fallen off a cliff’: Scientists have never seen so little ice in the Bering Sea in spring" (Seattle Times, emphasis added).
...
"Winter temperatures are soaring in the Arctic for the fourth winter in a row. The heat, accompanied by moist air, is entering the Arctic not only through the sector of the North Atlantic Ocean that lies between Greenland and Europe, as it has done in previous years, but is also coming from the North Pacific through the Bering Strait." (NASA studies an unusual Arctic warming event, emphasis added).

In today's post I want to show readers the areas and tidewater glaciers that are impacted by warming waters of "the Blob" when those waters flow around and along the Greenland coastline.
The Greenland depictions in Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b are from a recent Dredd Blog post (Greenland 2.0).
I have included them today, along with an exhaustive list of Greenland tidewater glaciers, in order to show that there are many glaciers that are being impacted by ocean water that does damage to them.
As those glaciers melt the sea level changes (Sea Level Rise Impacts on Wastewater Treatment Systems Along the U.S. Coasts).
The list is sorted according to WOD Zones as follows:

Many of the glaciers have several names (in several languages), so if you want more info you can download those names, etc. here.
The previous post in this series is here.
The assault on the cryosphere from below is also happening from above: "Another extreme heat wave strikes the North Pole" (link)
