Supraglacial lakes form in surface depressions around the periphery of the Greenland Ice Sheet and can undergo rapid drainages in which part or all of the lake meltwater is lost within hours. The factors influencing the triggering of a rapid drainage are poorly understood, but it is known that large local tensile stress precedes the hydrofracturing of ice within the lake. The subsequent ice fracture allows the meltwater to drain from the surface to the glacier bed rock. Here, we documented the rapid drainage occurrences found over two major glaciers in Northeast Greenland (Zachariæ Isstrøm and Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden/79 N Glacier) over the 2016 to 2022 summer melt seasons (June to September) using Sentinel-2 imagery. The lake area within each surface depression was tracked over each melt season and a rapid drainage was identified when the lake area dropped suddenly within a certain number of days. These rapid drainages were manually checked for false positives. Here, the location and timing of the rapid drainages are recorded.
