Greenland Ice Collapse Producing Earthquakes

with 2 comments

isfjorden-ved-jakobshavn-ilulissat.pngChilling from-the-scene update on my Greenland on Verge of Meltdown article in August: the Greenland ice cap is melting so quickly that it is triggering earthquakes as pieces of ice several cubic kilometres in size break off says Guardian reporter in Greenland.

UPDATE:
Here is a satellite view of Lulissat, Vestgronland Greenland just pan and zoom to the upper glacier to see the meltwater on the ice (not sure when this satellite pic was taken)
