Greenland's Ice Retreat: 563 Cubic Miles Down the Drain
From 2010 to 2023, Greenland bid farewell to 563 cubic miles of ice—enough to fill Africa's Lake Victoria—thanks to NASA and ESA’s satellite sleuthing. CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 revealed the ice sheet's edges are melting faster than a snowman in July, with glaciers like Zachariae losing up to 246 feet. This chilly exodus fuels sea-level rise and climate chaos, underscoring the crucial role of accurate data in combating global warming.
