@martinvermeer Oh for sure! It’s dependent on a lot of things! It spends a relatively short time (up to 50 years) floating in the ocean. Still an incredible feat of nature!

Glacial thawing at the poles is slowing the oceanic currents, a phenomenon related to altering the global climate and a succession of increasingly extreme weather events throughout the globe. #climate #climatechange #badweather #glaciers

Scientists estimate the lifespan of an iceberg, from first snowfall on a glacier to final melting in the ocean, to be as long as 3,000 years. That deserves a #thumbsup #icebergs #climate #climatechange #greenland

Melting of the Greenland ice sheet is the biggest contributor to global sea level rise. #Greenland #Iceberg #Climatechange #Climatecrisis #Climate

@leahstokes I am Kevin Anderson, I study water quality in the Arctic but I am about to start a degree in public policy. Working on climate action!

I could not think of something clever for my first post so I decided a picture of my cat Duckie would be the right move! #cats #firstpost
