摘要

Greenland, which stretches almost 1,000 miles from north to south and is 600 miles from east to west, is the world's largest island, 90% of it covered by ice. Geological evidence suggests that Greenland has already been affected by two dramatic changes in climate: the Medieval Warm Period that enabled Norse settlements, and the Little Ice Age that followed. "If the Greenland ice sheet melts, sea level would rise 7 meters-or about 24 feet-worldwide. In contrast, if the West Antarctic ice sheet melted, it would cause a 5-meter-or 16-foot-sea-level rise; the huge East Antarctic ice sheet is believed to be too cold to change dramatically."
