ice tongue from underneath by drilling through the ice shelf.
Its extensive
ice tongue makes it particularly susceptible to basal melt processes, due to the area and duration of exposure of the glacier base.
Instead, the glacier develops a floating
ice tongue - a shelf of ice that extends from the main body of the glacier out onto the waters of the fjord.

If the disappearance of the Odden
Ice Tongue is evidence of a weakening or shutdown of the deep convection, this may be a cause for immediate worry.
The Odden
Ice Tongue is the «hook» seen in this curve just to the west of Greenland and north of Iceland.
The so - called «Odden
Ice Tongue» did not appear in January, February or March, as may be seen from these graphics depicting monthly extent derived from satellite images:
J. C. Comiso, P. Wadhams, L. T. Pedersen, R. A. Gersten, Seasonal and interannual variability of the Odden
ice tongue and a study of environmental effects JGR.
