The edge of Kongsbreen glacial bay, the Kings Glacier, is pictured on February 26, 2008. Kongsbreen, the most active calving glacier in Svalbard, has receded by about 4.5 kilometers in 30 years. For the third winter running the fjord is not frozen over due to warmer water on the surface, a warning sign of global warming.
