N1 - Funding Information:
The ‘Upernavik Glacier Project’ is funded by Geocenter Danmark. We thank Arctic Station on Disko for the use of the vessel Porsild and Hans Karl Petersen from Upernavik who was pilot during the survey of glacier 4 and provided water-depth information by glaciers 1–3.

N2 - During the past decades, the Greenland ice sheet has experienced a marked increase in mass loss resulting in an increased contribution to global sea-level rise. The three largest outlet glaciers in Greenland have increased their discharge, accelerated, thinned and retreated between 1996 and 2005. After 2005 most of them have slowed down again although not to previous levels. Geodetic observations suggest that rapid increase in mass loss from the north-western part of the ice sheet occurred during 2005–2010 (Kjeldsen et al. 2013).
