It is 13 degrees currently in Greenland, the same temperature as in Paris today.

This means that some days in December it is colder in the French capital than in the far north.

An alarming observation for specialists: it is 20 degrees above the normal for the season.

It's not a record, but it's worrying.

Large lakes in place of icy expanses covered with snow, a gray stone that shines under the cracked sea ice ... Northern Greenland is at the heart of its cold season.

However, the thermometer explodes: 8, 10, even 13 degrees in places, instead of the usual negative temperatures.

A warming caused in particular by the Foehn, this dry and hot wind coming from the South.

It circulates in an unusual way for the season.

An amplification of global warming

"It is a circulation that we observe more and more, mainly in summer", warns Xavier Fettweis, climatologist at the University of Liège.

"Here, we see this kind of traffic even now in winter. And that is quite exceptional. We really have an amplification of global warming in the Arctic. And there, the ice is melting. wraps and it melts more and more. "

Greenland is already warming faster than the rest of the Arctic.

And if these episodes of hot wind multiply, the sea ice could melt there twice as fast as what the experts of the IPCC fear in their forecasts.
