Ice mass loss in southeast Greenland is speeding up. That is the conclusion of a team that used global positioning systems (GPS) on mountains along the ice to measure uplift of the bedrock caused by ice removal.

"The Arctic sea ice is disintegrating "100 years ahead of schedule", having dropped 22% this year below the previous minimum low, and it may completely disappear as early as the northern summer of 2013. This is far beyond the predictions of the International Panel on Climate Change and is an example of global warming impacts happening at lower temperature increases and more quickly than projected. What are the lessons from the Arctic summer of 2007?" (October 2007).

24.10.2007. Antarctic snowmelt progresses inland. http://environmentalresearchweb.org/cws/article/research/31568
Using 20 years of data from satellite observations, scientists at NASA have confirmed that snow has been melting further inland from the coast in Antarctica. The results also show that snow melted at higher altitudes than ever before and that it is progressively melting on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica's largest ice shelf. Warmer temperatures are probably responsible for these phenomena, says the team.
