The paper also suggested that ice losses from Greenland may be reversed by reducing temperature to 0.6 °C (1.1 °F) or lower, up until the entirety of South Greenland ice melts, which would cause 1.8 m (6 ft) of sea level rise and prevent any regrowth unless CO 2 concentrations is reduced to 300 ppm. If the entire ice sheet were to melt, it ...

Nioghalvfjerdsbræ), sometimes referred to as "79 N Glacier", is a large glacier located in King Frederick VIII Land, northeastern GreenlandIt drains an area of 103,314 km 2 (39,890 sq mi) of the Greenland Ice Sheet with a flux (quantity of ice moved from the land to the sea) of 14.3 km 3 (3.4 cu mi) per year, as measured for 1996.
