The newest Arctic islands and straits: Origin and distribution, 1997–2021

Abstract: The appearance of new Arctic islands and straits as the result of landscape transformation due to tidewater glacier recession under climate warming continues. Analysis of available maps and satellite images has served herein as the main research method. Six new islands, each covering an area of 0.4–248 km2, appeared in the years 2018–2021, and are described in this paper. Three other new islands, ranging in area from 0.4 to 3.2 km2, appeared along the Greenland coast in 1997, 2001, and 2013, and are described … Show more

“…The retreat of marine‐terminating glaciers often reveals glacially‐overridden bedrock landscapes that evolve into new rock cliffs, shore platforms and skerries (Lim et al, 2020). Across the European Arctic and Greenland, glacier recession exposed at least 40 new bedrock islands in the last 70 years (Ziaja & Haska, 2023; Ziaja & Ostafin, 2019).…”

“…The retreating glaciers leave behind substantial amounts of new coasts consisting of unconsolidated glacial landforms such as moraines, eskers, crevasse squeezed ridges or glacio uvial deposits and deltas as well as glacially polished bedrock ). In some cases, the new coastline exposed is in the form of islands (Ziaja and Osta n, 2019; Ziaja and Haska, 2023). The paraglacial coast exposed from ice differs from much of the Arctic coast as after initial ice retreat they are not affected by permafrost, which needs years to aggrade once land is deglaciated (Mackay et al 1997;Rangel et al 2021).…”
