What about Greenland's disappearing Arctic world?

Have you ever thought that the world of ice and snow in the Arctic is gradually disappearing, and rivers and lakes are appearing in this frozen land in the past? Animals that used to live in the Arctic are suffering from extinction.

Recently, Timo Lieber, a photographer from Britain, flew hundreds of miles over Greenland in a small plane, and showed us the "beautiful scene" of "rivers" and "lakes" rapidly appearing on the Arctic ice by aerial photography, which is exactly the disastrous effect caused by the rising temperature.

At present, the greenhouse effect is making the Arctic ice sheet disappear rapidly. According to the monitoring data, from 188 to 212, the global average temperature rose by about .85℃, which is more significant than the global average, that is, about 2℃ in the Arctic. Some scientists have pointed out that within a few years, the Arctic is likely to usher in an ice-free era.

Although the Arctic is one of the most primitive and inaccessible places in the world, it has also become the most severely influenced by human activities. In the past decades, Greenland has changed from a relatively balanced state with the climate to losing at least 3.8 billion tons of ice every year. The lost ice either directly turns into fresh water and flows into the ocean, or becomes an iceberg floating on the sea surface, posing a great threat to passing ships.

In this land, many arctic animals, including polar bears, are hard to find food, and hunger is taking away the few remaining vitality in this land. Compared with human beings, it is more difficult for them to resist the survival crisis caused by climate change.

Deep blue lakes and rivers are spreading wantonly on the Arctic ice, which is beautiful but implies danger. In fact, the Arctic ice sheet is not just an empty and lonely desolate place at the top of the earth. It is actually the largest "fresh water reservoir" for human beings, and 22% of the world's fresh water is stored in the Arctic ice sheet. The biggest threat to the melting of the Arctic ice sheet is that the rising sea level will engulf coastal cities.

Photographer Timo Lieber has visited the North Pole many times, and the rapidly changing North Pole inspired him to create this set of photos. He hopes that all people will not only regard these photos as a group of works of art, but realize that human beings need to work together to make some changes to save the Arctic.

The cameraman used a high-resolution lens to shoot this scene and shared this achievement with researchers. Professor Julian Dowdeswell of Scott Polar Institute of Cambridge University said: "Timo Lieber's photos are showing mankind the great changes that the Arctic is experiencing since the 21st century".
