Greenland's Annual Ice Loss is Worse than Thought
According to new research, the huge annual losses of ice from the Greenland cap are even worse than thought. The melt is not a short-term blip but a long-term trend.

The sea-ice extent in the first week of September stood at 4.14 million sq km, some way short of the 3.39 million sq km record low in 2012.

However, researchers have cautioned that the figures were preliminary, and changing winds could still push the ice extent lower.
