Greenland is cold and hot. It's a deep freezer storing 10 percent of Earth's ice and a subject of fevered debate. If
something should melt all that ice, global sea level could rise as much as 7 meters (23 feet). Greenland and Antarctica -
Earth's two biggest icehouses - are important indicators of climate change and a high priority for research, as highlighted
by the newly inaugurated International Polar Year. [Source: NASA Press Release]
