Glaciers Melting Over Greenland
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - (INS) - All the glaciers in Eastern Greenland are rapidly melting, declared Prof. Hans Ahlmann, Swedish geologist, in a report to the Geographical Society here on his recent expedition to the Arctic sub-continent.
"Everything points to the fact that the climate in that region has been growing warmer during recent years," the professor said.
"It may without exaggeration be said that the glaciers - like those in Norway - face the possibility of a catastrophic collapse."
