Rain in Ilulissat,greenland,now much more common due to global warming
Rain in Illulisat on Greenland Greenland is one of the fastest warming places on the planet having warmed around 9 degrees fahrenheit in the last 40 years this has made summer rain a much more frequent weather feature Ilulissat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the Jacobshavn Glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq which is the largest glacier outside Antarctica The glacier drains 7 of the Greenland ice sheet and produces enough water from calving icebergs in one day to provide New York with water for 1 year Climate change has meant the glacier has speeded up and is now one of the fastest glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day and is also receeding rapidly
