NASA shared Landsat images of Greenland’s glaciers and they show how these icy structures have significantly changed over the last half century. The chilling images, which focus on the group of glaciers that empty into Greenland’s Sermilik Fjord, detail appearance and composition changes in hi-res form, NASA said in a press release.
Landsat images taken in August 2019 were compared to Landsat images snapped in 1972, and they show that these massive ice hubs are changing in color and melting at shocking rates.
