According to the Guardian, rain fell in Greenland during three exceptionally hot days, with temperatures in some areas 18 degrees higher than average.
As a result, ice melting has been observed across most of the island, over an area around four times the size of the UK.
It is estimated that around 7 billion tons of water fell across Greenland.
