UN World Day for Glaciers is Saturday, 21 March 2026

#Sermersuaq, the #GreenlandIceSheet, is rapidly melting due to manmade global heating, and likely past its tipping point (with total collapse thought to be triggered around 1.7-2.3ºC of warming).

If glaciers retreat from these fjords to terminate on dry land no longer will they calve such astonishing #icebergs – but our oceans will continue to rise, swamping our lands.

Inside the race to understand Greenland’s ‘climate tipping point’.

An international team of scientists is determined to understand just how quickly Greenland’s melting glaciers are pushing the Atlantic Ocean towards a “critical climate tipping point”.

They’ll also trial a prototype ‘Early Warning System’ for glacier change in Greenland, as ice melt continues to accelerate.

#Groenlandia é fascinante!
Un veleiro con velas vermellas navega entre #icebergs preto do ceo do atardecer. A maxia do Ártico está chamando !

Iceland saw record temperatures last year. So why are scientists predicting a ‘deep freeze’?

Scientists have expressed growing concern over a major Atlantic current that could collapse and send northern Europe into the next Ice Age.

It's amazing to see the first bergy bits and icebergs in the sea 🇦🇶🧊💙

"There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves. Or lose our ventures." — William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
