Greenland experienced 'massive' ice melt this week, scientists say

It was the third-biggest ice loss for Greenland in a single day since 1950. The other two records, also within the last decade, happened in 2012 and 2019.

With climate change fueling high temperatures across the Arctic, Greenland lost a massive amount of ice on Wednesday with enough melting to cover the US state of Florida in 2 inches (5.1 cm) of water, scientists said.
