The Greenland glacier is thawing faster. The island loses 280 billion tons of ice every year
The thawing pace of the Greenland glacier is faster than scientists have predicted so far. According to a new study, increasingly larger pieces of ice are breaking off the world’s largest island. Subsequently, they melt in the Atlantic ocean and contribute to the rise of the sea level worldwide. The Greenland glacier is thawing four times faster compared to 2003.
