I'm Gretel Erlich. I started going to Greenland in 1993. This time we took off from a Luluset airport and made this big arching loop around over the inland ice. We flew over this enormous yackepcheon glacier, the most productive glacier in the world. The ice sheet used to be much smoother on top. Now it's just fractured on top. Conredde's definitely famous climatologist said it looked as if a huge hammer had come down on top of the ice sheet. There's surface melting, which is really accelerated over the years. Huge lakes and thawpons, these are these beautiful blue eyes you see in the eyes from the air. In other words, yes, it's really melting rapidly in ways that we're just discovering now. It's sort of thrilling from a scientist's point of view, but from a lay person's point of view, it's rather terrifying.
