Greenland

As tourists flock to Greenland to take in its breathtaking icebergs and natural beauty, authorities are mulling ways to control crowds to protect the fragile environment, already threatened by global warming.

Scientists have discovered what is believed to be the world's northernmost landmass - a yet-to-be-named island north of Greenland that could soon be swallowed up by seawaters.

Researchers came upon the landmass on an expedition in July, and initially thought they had reached Oodaaq, up until now the northernmost island on the planet.

Rain fell at the highest point on Greenland's ice sheet - possibly for the first time - in an event Danish scientists on  Aug. 23 said was most likely driven by climate change.

The rain was observed for several hours on August 14 at a measuring post more than 3,000 meters (9,800 feet) up on the sheet, the U.S. Snow and Ice Data Center reported. 

Temperatures at the Greenland summit over the weekend rose above freezing for the third time in less than a decade, CNN reports.
The warm air fueled an extreme rain event that dumped 7 billion tons of water on the ice sheet.

Greenland's ice sheet has experienced a "massive melting event" during a heatwave that has seen temperatures more than 10 degrees above seasonal norms, according to Danish researchers. 

A Turkish climate action team known as UZMAR act. traveled to Greenland on Jan. 10 to raise awareness about the importance of climate change in the world and Turkey.

The three-member group recorded and observed climate conditions and natural life in the region.

Greenland's largest airport will be closed due to climate change. The airport north of the capital Nuuk serves 11,000 aircraft annually and serves as a base for travel across the vast island.

The reason for the closure is the melting of the permafrost. The ever-frozen ground on which the airport was built began to melt from the higher temperatures. This causes cracks.

In addition to international relations, Greenland has also raised concerns in the scientific community. Researchers are looking for reasons for the rapid melting of ice on the huge island.

After Mette Frederiksens comments that she isnt interested in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will postpone our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time, Donald Trump tweeted.

Donald Trump has postponed a planned meeting with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen because of her lack of interest in his bid to buy Greenland.
