Zachariae Isstrom ice loss and open water at the front. (originally posted on Cryolist)

I am re-posting an interesting message from Mauri Pelto on the Zachariae Isstrom ice loss. The original message is below ....

ORIGINAL MESSAGE
Dear Glacier Colleagues:
Petermann has got lots of attention this summer but the losses in area of Zachariae Isstrom and the open water currently at its front are worth noting. Below is a link to a post on the glacier with numerous Landsat images, this is meant only as a visual update not a substitute for the detailed research that has been conducted and will continue on this important outlet glacier.

Any news on how much total ice melted on the Greenland ice sheet this summer (cubic kilometers)?
