Moraine is left behind by the retreating Reindeer Glacier on September 8, 2021 near Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. 2021 marked one of the biggest ice melt years for Greenland in recorded history. Researchers from Denmark estimated that in July of that year enough ice melted on the Greenland Ice Sheet to cover the entire state of Florida with two inches of water. According to NASA, 5 trillion tons of ice have melted in Greenland over approximately the past 15 years, enough to increase global sea level by nearly an inch. The observations come on the heels of the recent United Nations report on global warming which stated that accelerating climate change is driving an increase in extreme weather events.
