Wildfires in Greenland!
They are also burning the mountains in Greenland?
Yes, there are currently not one but TWO unusual fires
currently burning on the giant icy island.
Unprecedented!
How can you imagine a fire on Greenland as three-quarters
of the island is covered by a permanent ice sheet, and
permafrost is found on most of the rest of the island.
This is why it is very unusual, and possibly unprecedented
that two wildfires are burning on the giant island.
The European Union Earth Observation Programme has stated
that wildfires in Greenland are rare but have no data on previous
wildland fire activity in this region.
The wildfires are located near the city of Sismiut in
West Greenland.
Natural or human induced?
