Greenland Melting Breaks Record Four Weeks Early
Description: Melting over the Greenland ice sheet shattered the seasonal record on August 8 - a full four weeks before the close of the melting season. With more yet to come in August, this year's overall melting will fall way above the old records. That's a goliath year - the greatest melt since satellite recording began in 1979.
