Greenland is grappling with a melting ice sheet episode, attributable to the persistent heatwave sweeping across the Arctic.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Greenland is grappling with a melting ice sheet episode, attributable to the persistent heatwave sweeping across the Arctic. Images from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, captured on 29 June and 3 July, show the changes in snow coverage on Nares Land, a northern Greenland island. The air temperature, about ten °C higher than the average for the period, has led the entire island’s snow cover melting in just four days, exposing the underlying ice cap. Copernicus open data provide invaluable information on the consequences of climate change in the Arctic and Antarctica by frequently monitoring these regions.
