The Tidewater Glaciers of Northeast Bay and Disko Bay 



Figure 44. — There is a total of over 100 glaciers in this section of the west coast of 

 Greenland, of which 1- are important iceberg producers. These 12 are estimated 

 to discharge annually .5,400 icebergs, or more than any other coast line of similar 

 extent in the Northern Hemisphere. 



Disko Bay receives two very active ice streams, Torsukatak and 

 Jacobshavn, the latter (accoi-dino- to Helland 1876, p. 108) producing) 



3* Koch states in a letter that in the summer of 1928 he met more icebergs off Umia-i 

 maljo Glacier at the mouth of Karrat Fjord than at any other place in west Greenlandl 

 so he believes this is, at present, the most productive point on the west coast.
