Upsala Glacier

[1] The Upsala Glacier is well known for its rapid retreat,[2] which Greenpeace cites as evidence for global warming.

[4] The name comes from the old spelling with one p of Uppsala University, which sponsored the first glaciological studies in the area.

The acceleration in ice motion during the two decades preceding 1999 may have been augmented by the release of backstress when the glacier retreated beyond the islands in Brazo Upsala.
