Greenland lost 55 gigatons of ice in a year

.

Global warming has led to the melting of glaciers across the world, and the most visible is across the Arctic ice sheets.

The Greenland ice sheet, which contains 8% of the world’s fresh water, is shedding its ice for the 28th year in a row.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has cited that Greenland has lost about 55 gigatons of ice and snow between fall 2023 and 2024 and more than 5 trillion tons of ice since 1992.
