Iceberg window
The Arctic is seen as a window into the Earth's future. Polar amplification is the phenomenon that any change in the net radiation balance (for example greenhouse intensification) tends to produce a larger change in temperature near the poles than the planetary average. Average Arctic temperatures have risen twice as fast as the global average. The photo was taken under the midnight sun in Disko Bay, Greenland, Disko Island is in the background.
