Greenland had been ice-free for extended periods of time (msn.com) – in the past.
I was in Greenland about ten days ago. The harbor at the town we were at, was closed to ships until about mid-July, due to icebergs, and just opened.
The study builds on previous research that questioned the long-held belief that Greenland’s ice sheet has been stable for millions of years. Earlier findings, such as those from 2016 and 2019, had already suggested that Greenland’s ice was not as permanent as once thought. The new evidence strengthens this view, demonstrating that past warming events were sufficient to melt the ice and support a tundra ecosystem.
