ADD GREENLAND TO THE LIST OF GROWING ICE SHEETS

http://www.longrangeweather.com/ArticleArchives/GreenlandIceSheet.htm

Like the glaciers in Alaska and the huge Antarctic Icecap, the Greenland Ice Sheet is showing signs of growth, particularly in the interior regions of the enormous island.

While some of the ice has been melting in recent years around the edges of southwestern Greenland, similar to another warm period in the 1930s when the center of the North American Continent was experiencing ‘Dust Bowl’ conditions, most of the interior has seen snow and ice levels increase for decades on end.

For example, two massive radar sites constructed during the ‘Cold War Years’ of the 1950s and 1960s on Greenland have recently been abandoned, buried under huge mounds of built-up snow and ice, more than 20 feet thick in places.
