For several summers this deeply incised melt channel transported overflow from a large melt lake to a Moulin (a conduit drains the water through many hundreds of feet to the ice sheet’s bed). (note people near left edge for scale). See National News story NNmelt. The world’s second largest ice sheet is melting far more rapidly than previously thought - leaving tens of millions more people exposed to floods, reveals a new study. Scientists around the world have warned Greenland’s ice sheet is melting faster than expected, seven times more than in the 90s. The speedy melt will push sea levels up further - exposing 40 million more people to coastal flooding, according to the findings published in the journal Nature. Study lead researcher Professor Andrew Shepherd, of Leeds University, said: “As a rule of thumb, for every centimetre rise in global sea level another six million people are exposed to coastal flooding around the planet *** Local Caption *** *** Local Caption *** 30504905

The midnight sun casts a golden glow on an iceberg and its reflection in Disko Bay, Greenland. Much of Greenland’s annual mass loss occurs through calving of icebergs such as this.

Area of the Greenland Ice Sheet with a land-terminating margin. In such regions ice is shed primarily through in situ melting, unlike marine-terminating glaciers where iceberg calving dominates annual ice loss. See National News story NNmelt.

BERLIN: Knut celebrates his 4th birthday
Knut, the world's most famous polar bear, celebrates his fourth birthday in his snow-covered enclosure at the Tiergarten Zoo in Berlin. He had to be bottle-fed when he was rejected at birth - in December 2006 - which made him a global sensation.
