     Petermann Glacier shown here is the largest floating  glacier in the Northern Hemisphere, located  in north-western Greenland. Petermann is a  huge glacier forming big and small icebergs.

    Glacier joins the Greenland ice sheet with the Arctic Ocean. Floating ice tongue has a width of 15 km and 70 km long, whose thickness varies from about 600 meters at the base and about 30-80 meters on the edge.

Supposedly, according to rough estimates, approximately
80% of the mass of the glacier are melted water.
Expedition Green peace found that as soon as glaciers have
lost up to 100 square Kilometers of ice.
 This amount is sufficient, to 10 years to supply water,
a city like Sydney, Australia which has a population
estimated in 2006 was approximately 4.28 million.
