DescriptionWarming Island USGS Landsat.jpg |
Warming Island, Greenland L5, L7 ETM+ Acquisition Date: Aug 11, 1985 & Sep 05, 2002 & Sep 04, 2005 Path/Row: 227/9 Lat/Long: 72.207/-22.180 On January 16th, 2007, the New York Times reported that a new island had been found in Greenland. Warming Island was once thought to be an ice-covered peninsula, but it was exposed as an island when a glacier melted to reveal the strait. This image shows satellite pictures of the island in 1985 when the glacier had firmly tied it to the mainland, in 2002 when there was only a thin bridge of ice, and in 2005 when the bridge of ice has broken to reveal an open water strait. More islands like this may be discovered if the Greenland ice sheet continues to disappear. |
