The glacier, now absent, had retreated several miles into its fjord. The fjord used to hold 2,000 feet (600 meters) of ice. Now it held 2,000 feet of seawater instead. The aftermath of an ice shelf collapse is obvious in SjÃ¶grenâs fjord. When the ice shelf in front of SjÃ¶gren disintegrated in 1995, it removed the buttress that stabilized the glacier. The glacier started sliding into the sea at twice its original speed.
