GLOBAL WARMING: GREENLAND ICE SHEET

The DYE series of radar stations were a series of long-distance early warning radar stations that were built across the Greenland ice sheet between 1955 and 1960. DYE-3 was one of these stations.

The site was abandoned in 1990/1991 because of rising ice levels. The following two photos are from 2006:

It's just gotta be Global Warming.
