According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, the ice sheet in Greenland experienced rapid melting in August 2023 due to an omega pattern, which is a configuration of high and low air pressure over Greenland.
The total area of melting in Greenland in 2023 is now the second-highest ever recorded, following extreme melting events that occurred in 2012.
