Greenland Thin Ice - International Version
Greenpeace ship MV Arctic Sunrise (MVAS) tour to the Kangerdlussuaq Fjord in Greenland that until a few years ago was filled with a massive glacier that has retreated 5 km in the last few years due to global warming. Greenpeace, with scientists from the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine, USA are documenting evidence of climate change. Preliminary findings indicate Kangerdlugssuaq Glacier on Greenland's east coast could be one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world with a speed of almost 14 kilometres per year. Outlet glaciers like Kangerdlugssuaq transport ice from the heart of the Greenland Ice Sheet to the ocean and discharge icebergs which contribute to sea level rise.
