Greenland’s glaciers have already passed the ‘point of no return’ beyond which the ice would continue to melt away even if global warming stopped, a study has found. Experts from the US used nearly 40 years of satellite data to measure the annual rate of ice loss and snow accumulation on 200 large glaciers around … Read more

A delicate, soft coral garden has been found near Greenland at a depth of 1,600 feet underwater — where the pressures is 50 times greater than at the surface. Experts from the UK and Greenland made the discovery — the first of its kind to have been seen in the region — using an innovative and … Read more
A new ‘origami-inspired’ foldable shelter designed for the next generation of moon explorers is about to undergo testing in the harsh conditions of Greenland. The ‘Lunark’ shelter, created by two Danish ‘space architects’, is a compact habitat that folds down to a manageable size to allow easy transportation before being extended in its final location. … Read more
Greenland lost 600 BILLION tons of ice last summer raising global sea levels by almost 0.1 inches in two months as the Arctic experienced its hottest year on record Ice volume changes were measured by two pairs of gravity-measuring satellites Greenland shed twice the ice last summer than each year on average since 2002 In the … Read more
Greenland and Antarctica are losing ice SIX TIMES FASTER than in the 1990s with sea levels set to rise 6.6 inches by 2100 — putting 400 million people at flood risk — if global warming goes unchecked Researchers combined ice sheet surveys with data from 11 satellite missions Antarctica and Greenland lost 6.4 trillion tonnes of … Read more
