Extreme Melt In Greenland

Greenland is more than ten times the size of Florida. It wouldn’t take a lot of melt to produce that much water.

 

Eight billion tons of snow melted on Greenland in one day. During May, twelve billion tons of snow fell in one day

The surface mass balance of Greenland has been above average for three of the past five years, including this year.
