The area of Greenland’s ice loss in the past three decades is 36 times the size of New York City land that is rapidly giving way to wetlands and shrubs, a study shows.
A comprehensive examination of historical satellite data reveals that approximately 11,000 square miles or 28,707 square kilometers of Greenland's ice sheet and glaciers have melted over the past 30 years.
The amount of vegetation doubled in three decades, as swaths of the country that were once covered in ice and snow were transformed into wetlands or shrub area.
