   Steve
   In this image it appears there is ice off the East Coast of Greenland just north of the Denmark Straight, is this right?

     There normally is. It gets transported by wind and currents out of the Arctic

       Thanks, does it ever cause an ice build up in early winter?

         When there is a lot of ice in the Greenland Sea, it means that a lot of ice is being lost from the Arctic Basin. Very little this year compared to “normal”

   Steve,
   thanks for taking the time to answer, I’m no expert on Arctic Sea Ice as you’ve probably guessed.
