Petermann Glacier, Greenland

On Greenland, tens of thousands of years of snowfall have settled and solidified into a massive sheet of ice. Each summer, snow retreats briefly at low elevations, and a narrow strip of rocky coastline emerges. While some seasonal thawing is typical on Greenland, more dramatic changes are probably in store for the Greenland Ice Sheet in coming decades and centuries.

Retreating Ice and Snow in Greenland

In October 2006, a study using data from NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites discussed the condition of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The study determined that, although the ice sheet had gained some mass in the interior, it had lost considerably more mass along the perimeter, particularly southeastern Greenland.
