Last July (2012), I heard from a colleagues working at the edge of
the Greenland ice sheet, and from another colleague working up at the Summit.
Both were independently writing to report the exceptional conditions
they were witnessing. The first was that the bridge over the Watson
river by the town of Kangerlussuaq, on the west coast of Greenland, was
being breached by the high volumes of meltwater coming down from the ice
sheet. The second was that there was a new melt layer forming at the
highest point of the ice sheet, where it very rarely melts.
