	SVS Science Story: Greenland's Receding Ice
		Using a laser altimeter repeatedly flown across the surface of Greenland, experts say the edges of the ice found there may be thinning at the rate of nearly one meter per year.
		The study of Greenland's ice is another example of how a somewhat localized phenomenon is providing insight to climate systems that relate to the entire planet.
		Greenland's coastal ice is disappearing fast enough that at its current rate of decline it will contribute to a rise in the world's oceans of a little less than a centimeter in the space of a single human lifetime.

		Greenland [1] (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat; Danish: Grønland) is the world's largest non-continental island, in the far northeast of North America, largely within the Arctic Circle.
		Air Iceland operates a regular flight from Reykjavik to Kulusuk, Kangerlussuaq, and Nuuk; one to Ittoqqortoormiit, and another to Narsarsuaq.

		In particular, the extent of summer melting of snow in Greenland is considered a sensitive indicator of global change.
		Furthermore, long-term changes in the patterns and extent of melting on the large ice sheets reflect the effects of climate variability; thus Greenland is considered a sensitive indicator of global warming.
		Air temperature and precipitation variations are responsible for the patterns, with the greatest impact over the southern tip of Greenland occurring from storms originating over the Atlantic.

	Passenger Opinions about Air Greenland
		I used Air Greenland beginning of August 2006 from Copenhagen to Narsarsuaq together with a group of 30 spanish people for tourism.
		The information received from Air Greenland was poor and inconsistent; even though they admitted the cancellation was due to a failure in the aircraft, they said this was beyond the control of Air Greenland.
		I've also taken SAS Scandinavian Airlines on this flight and Air Greenland had a more "traditional" feeling to it, probably because it is Greenlandic.

		All references to Greenland are deleted in the History despite Greenland being one of the most thoroughly documented cases of overseas deployment of U.S. nuclear weapons during the Cold War.
		The U.S. Air Force told the Joint Chiefs of Staff that "in accordance with current governmental understandings, there do not appear to be any restrictions on overflights of Spain or Greenland with nuclear weapons." Yet "internal understandings" are one thing but public policy is another.
		The contradiction between the Air Force’s willingness to release "Greenland" material and the OSD’s unwillingness is particularly striking, given that the departments are supposed to be implementing the same law.
