11 Billion Tons of Ice Melted (Today In Greenland)

We traveled by small boats around the icebergs in northeastern Greenland and saw unusually warm temperatures and ice melting rapidly into the sea. We learned that Greenland’s ice sheet had lost a record 11 billion tons of ice, raising global sea levels, while expedition scientists explained the connection to human-caused climate change. We also admired the glaciers and icebergs in this remote region while reflecting on the changes taking place there.
