Greenland’s Glaciers Melting, Scientist Says
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (INS)—
All the glaciers in eastern Greenland are rapidly melting, declared Prof. Hans Ahlmann, Swedish geologist, in a report to the Geographical society here on his recent expedition to the Arctic sub- continent.“Everything points to the fact that the climate in that region has. been growing warmer during recent years,” the professor said.
“It may without exaggeration be said that the glaciers—like those in Norway—face the possibility of a catastrophic collapse.”
