For two months of summer, Greenland was hit by “extremely warm” weather, as a result of which up to 50% of the snow cover on the island melted. The process of ice melting was recorded by NASA satellites, Space.com reports. NASA’s Landsat 9 satellite flew over Greenland in mid-June, when most of the island was covered in snow. The image taken on July 24, six weeks later, shows that the snowpack has reduced by about 50%. The photo was taken in mid-June.

We previously reported that artificial intelligence has calculated when the world will reach the threshold of global warming. Read also: Glaciers in the Himalayas may melt by 75% by 2100 – report
