TL;DR Summary

Rapid disintegration of sea ice near the junction of two large outlet glaciers in northeast Greenland occurred due to seasonal warmth and wind-driven effects. The disintegration was likely caused by warm and weak sea ice being pulled apart by winds. The disintegration was observed through satellite images acquired by Landsat 9 and Landsat 8. The retreat of the glaciers' grounding zones has been observed since the mid-1990s, likely due to long-term processes such as surface melting and the rapid advance of one of the glaciers.
