En retroceso / melting - a photo on Flickriver

EXPLORE #66 31/1/2009. More rain on the Antarctic Peninsula is speeding a melt of glaciers such as the Sheldon, which has retreated 2 km (1.2 miles) in 20 years and is nudging up world sea levels, a leading expert said. Adding in other factors including that water expands as it warms up, ocean levels are rising 3 mm a year -- or 30 cm (11.8 inches) a century. And the rate is accelerating after a gain of 17 cm in the 20th century.

PD the photo was taken in Greenland at one of the southern glaciers near Narsarsuaq.
