Two lakes were sounded, 2.5miles apart and the coordinates for these were: Lake 1 - 69º32m N 49º07m W and Lake 2 - 69º29m N 49º12m W.Greenpeace and an independent NASA-funded scientist completed measurements of melt lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet that show its vulnerability to warming temperatures. The measurements are the last scheduled activity as the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise wraps up its two-month expedition to document the impacts of climate change on Greenland's ice sheet and glaciers.Locations:Disko Bay-GreenlandDate:14 Aug, 2005Credit:© Greenpeace / Nick CobbingMaximum size:4064px X 2704pxKeywords:Blue-Climate (campaign title)-Climate change impacts-Cold-Day-Freshness-Glacier melt-Global warming-Green-Icescapes-KWCI (GPI)-OutdoorsShoot:Greenland Climate Change Tour 2005The Greenpeace ship MY Arctic Sunrise is on a tour of Greenland to document and support scientific work on the impacts and effects of Climate Change.Related Collections:Polar Oceans in Peril and a Planet at RiskGreenland Climate Change Tour 2005 (Photos & Videos)
