Rink Glacier (Danish translation: "Rink Isbrae") (Greenlandic: Kangilliup Sermia) (71°45′N 051°40′W / 71.750°N 51.667°W / 71.750; -51.667), is a large glacier located on the west coast of Greenland. It drains an area of 30,182 km2 (11,653 sq mi) of the Greenland Ice Sheet with a flux (quantity of ice moved from the land to the sea) of 12.1 km3 (2.9 cu mi) per year, as measured for 1996. As reported by Anker Weidick and Ole Bennike in 2007, it is ranked second or third in iceberg production in western Greenland. It is also the swiftest moving and highest surface ice in the world.
The glacier is named in honor of Hinrich Johannes Rink, Danish geologist and Greenlandic researcher.
British Columbia, also commonly referred to by its initials BC, is a province located on the west coast of Canada. British Columbia is also a component of the Pacific Northwest and the Cascadia bioregion, along with the US states of Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Alaska The province's name was chosen in 1858 by members of the Hudson's Bay Company. In 1871, it became the sixth province of Canada. Its Latin motto is Splendor sine occasu ("Splendour without Diminishment").
The capital of British Columbia is Victoria, the fifteenth-largest metropolitan region in Canada, named for the Queen who created the Colony of British Columbia. The largest city is Vancouver, the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada, the largest in Western Canada, and the second-largest in the Pacific Northwest. In October 2013, British Columbia had an estimated population of 4,606,371 (about 2.5 million of whom were in Greater Vancouver). The province is currently governed by the BC Liberal Party, led by Premier Christy Clark, who became leader as a result of a leadership convention vote on February 26, 2011, and who led her party to an election victory on May 14, 2013.
