A crack seven miles long and a half-mile wide has emerged at the top of Greenland, scientists from NASA and Ohio State University announced yesterday. Floating as far north as possible, this region of Greenland was previously thought to be resistant to the effects of global warming- yesterday's announcement is clear evidence to the contrary and disintegration of the glacier is now expected to occur this year.
Not yet convinced that global warming is a real threat? Take an end-of-summer vacation to Nuuk and ask the locals.
