Greenland’s ice is disappearing FAST – Ice field is busted

So this is the end. Sorry. Bad use of a Doors lyric. But this is very troubling. Once the Cold in the world is removed it is very difficult to replace it. I do not do pictures by the way so you will have to go and look at them at the site below.

Greenland Glacier Loses Big Chunk of Ice (Photo)

Greenland’s Jakobshavn glacier recently made headlines for its record-breakingly fast flow. Now, a new satellite image provides a visual of this process.

In a comparison between two images of the glacier, one taken May 9 and the other June 1, the loss of kilometers of ice from the calving front of the glacier is visible. The change is so significant that the after image almost looks like it has been “zoomed out” to make the glacier look smaller. But the views are the same. The missing ice simply slipped into the sea.

The Jakobshavn glacier is one of Greenland’s most prominent. It drains some 6.5 percent of the Greenland ice sheet area into the Ilulissat Icefjord in western Greenland, according to NASA. Researchers believe this glacier produced the iceberg that wrecked the Titanic. [Gallery: Greenland’s Melting Glaciers]
