environmental news & information about the UK electricity supply industry
New images have been released of wildfires that continue to burn close to the Greenland ice sheet, on the country’s west coast. Fires are rare on an island where 80% of the land is covered by ice up to 3km thick in places. However, satellites have observed smoke and flames north-east of a town called Sisimiut since 31 July.
