Greenland's Changing Landscape


Though its cause may still be contentious for some ,it is undeniable that Greenland is disappearing at a startling rate as large chunks of ice break off from the mainland and float away as icebergs. It was commonly thought that the melting and break up of mammoth glaciers was the most dramatic example of Greenland's changing landscape, new research shows that the real culprits are dozens of much smaller outflow glaciers dotting Greenland's coast. This is a sign in how the world and its landscapes itself will change in the following years. This could be a sign of a giant flood over the countries including the United States.
