Summits of Greenland

The Summits of Greenland refer to the highest points on Greenland’s major ice caps, particularly the Summit of the Greenland Ice Sheet, which sits about 3,216 meters (10,551 feet) above sea level. These high elevation areas are key to understanding climate change, as they contain large amounts of ice that impact global sea levels. Scientists study these summits to monitor ice melt, temperature changes, and climate patterns. The Greenland ice sheet is the second-largest ice body in the world, and its health influences global climate stability.
