I'll be flying over Greenland in a few hours, en-route from Vancouver to

Do you do know what to look for? Melt ponds like these forming in ice from
the North Pole:

Only the Greenland ponds are much larger.

Cheers, Alastair.


Melt ponds on an ice cap is between 1.2 and 2.3 miles thick . are you saying that is all going to melt in the next few weeks ?
