While, in the past, the ice caps were both melting, evidence shows us that at least one of the ice caps are growing. Some researchers and climatologists have stated that the growth, that is perceived as evidence that the melting has reversed, is only the usual seasonal increase which will melt again as usual when the season changes, but that the general trend continues to be a melting and loss of polar ice.
What else can I help you with?
Is Greenland always covered by ice?
No, Greenland is not always covered by ice. It experiences seasonal variation in ice coverage, with the majority of the island covered by ice year-round, but in the summer months, some of the ice does melt.
What is bogus about global warming?
Nothing much. It is becoming clearer with every climate study that the planet is warming. New temperature records are being set constantly. The summer sea ice at the North Pole gets smaller every year. Glaciers are melting faster, as is Greenland. The only slow thing is the action of governments.
Is Greenland called the land of snow?
Yes , Greenland is called the land of snow.It is cool throughout the year. The temperature is always below freezing point.It has heavy snofall everyweek.
What part of Greenland is covered in snow?
The amount of snow Greenland gets every year varies dramatically depending on where on the island you're talking about. High on the ice sheet receives almost none because it is so cold and dry. The southeastern part of Greenland receives several meters of snow every year due to its location in the North Atlantic storm track. Furthermore, there are not a lot of stations measuring snow in Greenland, so the snowfall data for 2009 would be quite sparse anyway.
Where are the melting ice caps?
In the Arctic the polar ice cap is melting, losing about 3% ice every year. In the summer of 2007, for the first time in recorded history, the North-West Passage was open for shipping.
How are the polar ice caps being affected?
The sea ice in the Arctic is not called an ice cap, which is ice that lies on land, like Greenland and Antarctica. Greenland's ice cap, and the glaciers formed where the ice meets the sea, have been melting at an increasing rate every year. Recent data showed an annual melting of 195 cubic kilometers (47 cubic miles). East Antarctica is not showing much change, but West Antarctica, especially the peninsula, is warming, its glaciers are melting and its ice shelves, undermined by the warming ocean, are breaking off and floating off as icebergs.
Has global warming done anything to the melting glaciers and ice caps?
Yes. It is melting glaciers and ice caps already. Tha Arctic is losing more Nd more summer ice every year. The Greenland ice cap is losing ice. Even Antarctica, the coldest place in the world loses more than 100 cubic kilometers (24 cubic miles) of ice every year, reports the GRACE satellite.
What is the ice melting record?
I think its approximately 1.in every year
Every year when you track santa Claus he gets stuck in the same place which is Greenland for almost half an hour Why?
He probably has friends in Greenland, and is staying longer to visit them.
Who 's the coolest country?
On average, probably Greenland, much of which is covered with ice year-round.

Why river brahamputra floods the land every year?

Is global warming melting the arctic?
Yes, every year Arctic ice gets smaller and smaller.

How much rain does Greenland get?
Greenland receives an average of about 600 mm (24 inches) of precipitation per year, which falls primarily as snow due to its cold climate. The coastal regions tend to receive more precipitation than the interior.
When did Erik the red discover Greenland?
Erik the red discovered Greenland in the year 982.
What year did Eric the Red find Greenland?
The year 982.
