More gobsmacking imagery out of Greenland.
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— Anders Anker Bjørk (@aabjoerk) August 7, 2019

I'm in Kangerlussiauq, Greenland where temp topped 22C today w/ record ice melt. Here's the kicker, 2nd vid feed. pic.twitter.com/vZd2QmFjBU— Laurie Garrett (@Laurie_Garrett) August 1, 2019

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— Enough Already!

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— Antti Lipponen (@anttilip) August 4, 2019

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: âÂÂDuring this period, Greenland temperatures rose by as much as 16ðC ⦠in less than a decadeâ https://t.co/8uIMj4qVek pic.twitter.com/rSecxRFgmK— CleanCircle (@CleanCircleOrg) August 3, 2019

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_ice pic.twitter.com/AdD8JxjRqN— Dirk on ice (@DirkvanAs) August 2, 2019
