NASA has released satellite pictures of Greenland showing that the surface thaw level of the Greenland ice-cap in July accelerated dramatically from just over half of the ice-cap area to a full 97 per cent in connection with unusually high temperatures.
“On average in the summer, about half of the surface of Greenland's ice sheet naturally melts. At high elevations, most of that melt water quickly refreezes in place…..According to satellite data, an estimated 97 per cent of the ice sheet surface thawed at some point in mid-July,” NASA says in a news release.
