Greenland Glacier Melt


Greenland
Last year I flew by helicopter to the last out cropping of land , a small rock hill at the edge of the Iluslissat glacier.. We flew through grand canyons of ice walls to get there Looking into the distance it flattened out into an endless ice dessert. A huge immovable chunk of the world. It was, I thought, something forever. But if you lied down and fixed your eye on the shore, You could see it move ever so slowly. It was freaky, it was too big to move. Recent reports suggest that its speed is picking up, much faster than ever before. Here is a link to read the full AFP story.
