2019-08-04 | Greenland's ice wasn't supposed to melt like last week until 2070 | TheHill

'While this is a smaller melt area than in mid-July 2012, the melt extent was second only to 2012 for late July. '

'Numerous meltwater rivers and lakes, and dark, dust-encrusted ice reached areas higher on the ice sheet. '

'The Greenland ice sheet covers an area the size of Alaska with enough ice to raise global sea level by more than 20 feet. '

'These rapid changes point to the necessity for action on climate change and for improved observing systems to monitor the ice sheet. '

'Greenland gains ice each winter from compacting snow accumulation and loses ice from melt water and icebergs discharged to the ocean. '
