The present work is an exposition of a study made of the situation of the ice front in the glaciers of West Greenland, based on the information in the literature, diaries and in picture material. It is also a comparative study of that material for the purpose of forming a picture, fragmentary though it may be, of the ice shrinkage along the margin of the inland ice and at certain isolated glaciers in the various regions investigated.
