   Where is that place? Certainly not the ice cap. With only 11 days until the solstice, does not look like a bountiful harvest this year.

   They are obviously growing snowcap corn. Looks to be a bountiful harvest.

   They just finished the shucking. It’s all piled up next to that building on the left, frozen and ready for the Jolly Green Giant.

   Must be due to all the “warm snow” they had this winter. No, seriously. I’m not making this up, it’s on their website. http://nsidc.org/greenland-today/

   “The algorithm for the Greenland Ice Sheet Today daily melt extent has been revised to account for unusually warm winter snow layers and residual meltwater deep in the snow. Meltwater from last summer’s intense melt season did not completely re-freeze through at least mid December.”

   Really? ‘Warm snow’? They didn’t say what color it was.
