A pathway opens in the landfast sea ice, in front of an iceberg calved from “79 Glacier” or Nioghalvfjerdsbrae, in Dijmhna Sund, Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden, in Greenland’s remote northeast corner. The Arctic Ocean sea ice continues to decline; as more white ice, which reflects sunlight back into space, is lost to due the burning of fossil fuels, the remaining dark water absorbs heat, creating a feedback effect spells bad news for the Arctic, and the global climate.
