Greenland: Top-down view of Island tour with airplane tracks
|
Top-down view of Greenland Island tour.This animation shows the ice concentration in Greenland. The ice has decreased significantly (~50 cm/year) along the coast and increased slightly in the center (+2 cm/year). Researchers view this as yet another serious warning sign of the threat of global warming.
