Predicting the sea level in 75 years requires precise calculations and correct models of the melting of the ice from, e.g., Greenland. To do so, researchers need valid data—and photos, too.
An autonomous territory of Denmark, Greenland has about 57,000 inhabitants, most of them Inuit, and only about 550 of whom live in Kangerlussuaq. The town may not be worth spending a night in, but it ...

The entrance to the main tunnel is seen at Camp Century, a US Cold War research base built beneath the surface of Greenland's ice sheet that operated from 1960 to 1967. The image was taken by ...
Ice-cap flights have an on-time record that makes United’s look meticulous, but at least there’s an excuse here. Weather in Greenland is changeable, and even in the summer, hardly perfect for ...
The Swiss-born Steffen has been studying Greenland's ice cap since 1990. He and his colleagues helped show that temperatures are rising significantly here in the winter, spring and fall, while the ...
The massive Greenland Ice Sheet--which contains nearly 10 percent of all the frozen water on Earth--is melting at a rate of about 12 cubic miles per year, accounting for 7 percent of sea-level ...
