It is predicted that sea-levels may rise by 6.8 Metres were the Greenland Ice-cap to melt completely. Caption, An iceberg made of densely formed ice, often called 'old' ice, shows light transmitted through it. This colour compaction and it's green-blue colour suggests it is older than the other ice formations surrounding it. South Eastern Greenland.
