A meltwater stream on Greenland’s ice sheet. About 80 percent of Greenland, pictured in this satellite image, is covered in an enormous ice sheet. According to NASA, the ice sheet stretches 1,540 miles long and contains roughly 8 percent of all of Earth’s fresh water. Greenland also has isolated glaciers and small ice caps around its periphery. This coastal ice is disappearing at a breakneck pace, say scientists. Coastal ice has passed a critical “tipping point,” a new study shows. And it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the island’s ice.
