At the bottom of a glacier in Greenland, climate scientists find troubling signs

NASA oceanographer Josh Willis and his team are investigating how the ice is being attacked not only by rising air temperatures but also by the warming ocean, which is eating it away from underneath.

NASA took CNN on a dramatic flight over Helheim -- one of the largest glaciers on Greenland and the fastest flowing on the eastern edge of the island. Helheim, named after the realm of the dead in Norse mythology, is majestic, standing at more than four miles wide and roughly the height of the Statue of Liberty.

Helheim has become famous in recent years as it has been retreating at a stunning rate. In 2017, the glacier, and a year later scientists from New York University captured a miles-long ice column break off the glacier's front. The melt doesn't seem to be slowing this year either.

well, we're fucked
