triggered by a few days of unusually warm temperatures. during cnn s first three days in northern greenland, the temperature topped out nearly ten degrees higher than normal. it s days like today, warm enough to wear short sleeves, near 60 degrees in greenland. it s a high melt day when it s this unusually warm. and it s also deeply concerning for scientists. it definitely worries me. we are at 67 latitude here on top of the world in north pole. and we could just yesterday especially, not today, but yesterday, we could wander around in our t-shirts. that was not really expected. it s basically at the melting point today, as you can see. at a research site in northeast greenland, near melt conditions at an elevation of nearly 9,000 feet made what s usually a frozen landing strip inoperable. they have a problem and it s this soft. climate scientist tweeting
Combining advanced climate model simulations with marine sediment analyses, a new study revealed a previously unknown mechanism that may have triggered massive ice sheets to form in Scandinavia, ringing in the last glacial period some 100,000 years ago.
As global warming melts away Arctic sea ice, polar bears are scrambling to find ice on which to hunt. But Greenland’s fjords harbor a small but unique group of polar bears that rely on glacial ice.
A new population of polar bears documented on the southeast coast of Greenland use glacier ice to survive despite limited access to sea ice, according to a new study by the University of Washington
