Alarming Ice Loss in Northeast Greenland Glacier Revealed by Research

Recent research by the Alfred Wegener Institute reveals significant ice loss of over 160 meters in thickness at the 79° N-Glacier in northeast Greenland since 1998, attributed to warm ocean water melting the glacier from below. The study highlights the impact of global warming on the stability of the floating ice tongue and emphasizes the urgent need to address the effects of climate change on polar ice masses.
