Greenland is melting - even in the highest north! Here water is running off the top of the ice sheet at our field site on Inglefield Land. The ice cliff is c. 40 m tall. pic.twitter.com/WFMbNLMeW7

I have just returned from there & discussions I had were same. They are witnessing changes in local glaciers. The Mýrdalsjökull glacier on the south coast of Iceland is retreating under climate change at a rate of about 80m per year. Massive changes pic.twitter.com/YFKw4BujrW

The average flow rate of Niagara falls is about 2,400 cubic meters of water every second. This means that if the meltwater of Aug 1 from Greenland would flow through Niagara falls it would take more than two months, about 65 days, for all of it! 3/9 pic.twitter.com/JO07lZiGhZ

Wonder why scientists are freaking out about Greenland melting?Ice core analyses show that in the past, reductions of Arctic ice led to abrupt/extreme change: ”During this period, Greenland temperatures rose by as much as 16°C … in less than a decade” https://t.co/8uIMj4qVekpic.twitter.com/rSecxRFgmK

Mind-blowing how much #ice#calving#glaciers transport to the #ocean. Here's a not-too-large glacier for #Greenland standards, only 3.4 km across. @PromiceGL@climate_icepic.twitter.com/AdD8JxjRqN

Even animals that have adapted to survive fires are finding the climate crisis’ heat to be too much. https://t.co/NkmGkKytix
