Now, it looks like the continent's ice sheet is growing.

现在, 看起来这片大陆的冰盖正呈现增加趋势。

The study said Greenland's ice sheet and glaciers have been melting.

该研究称，格陵兰岛的冰盖和冰川一直在融化。

But a lot of that is covered by the territory's ice sheet.

但许多资源被冰川覆盖。

It's going to get too warm you're going to melt the ice sheets.

天气会变得太热，会融化冰原。

In Greenland, melting on the vast Greenland ice sheet has started a month earlier than usual.

在格陵兰岛，格陵兰大冰原的融化比往常早了一个月。

The icebergs — created from the shrinking Greenland ice sheet — serve as hunting grounds, scientists say.

科学家表示，这些冰山是由不断缩小的格陵兰岛冰盖形成的，是狩猎场。

Yes, you asked me how many gigatonnes of Greenland's ice sheet are now melting every year.

是的，你问我格陵兰岛现在每年融化多少冰原。

The beginning of the Holocene was marked by a natural warming of the climate and the retreat of the world's ice sheets.

全新世开始的标志是气候的自然变暖和世界冰盖的缩减。

Scientists claim that if the entire Greenland ice sheet melts, the result would be an increase of 6 to 7 meters in sea level.

科学家宣称，如果整个格陵兰岛的冰层融化，将会使海平面上升6至7米。

Globally, sea level advances are accelerating at (as) higher temperatures driven by the continued burning of fossil fuels melt once-mighty ice sheets, while warmer oceans cause water molecules to expand.

在全球范围内，海平面正在加速上升，因为化石燃料的持续燃烧导致温度升高，融化了曾经强大的冰盖，而海洋变暖导致水分子膨胀。

The island is believed to be rich in resources like gold, diamonds, uranium, oil, lead and iron ore but a lot of that is covered by the territory's ice sheet.

这个岛被认为拥有丰富的资源，如黄金，钻石，铀，石油，铅和铁矿石，但其中大部分被该地区的冰盖所覆盖。

ON SEPTEMBER 16th 2012, at the height of the summer melt, the Arctic Ocean's ice sheet had shrunk to an area of 3.41m square kilometres, half what it was in 1979.

2012年9月16日当天已经达到了夏季海洋冰面融化的温度，北冰洋的冰盖缩小到了341万平方公里，这个数字只有1979年冰盖面积的一半。

From Greenland: New simulations indicate that a rocky valley detected under the island's ice sheet may contain a 1,600-kilometer-long subterranean river,flowing from central Greenland to its northern coast.

来自格陵兰岛：新的模拟表明，在该岛冰盖下探测到的岩石山谷可能包含一条 1,600 公里长的地下河，从格陵兰岛中部流向其北部海岸。

In this programme we've been looking at the rate – or speed – of ice melt in Greenland's ice sheet - the thick layer of ice covering a large area of the Arctic.

在本期节目中，我们一直在关注格陵兰岛冰原海冰的融化速度。冰原是覆盖北极大部分地区厚冰层。

And in a scenario with no reductions in emissions, scientists predict that the entire Greenland ice sheet will likely melt, causing 5 to 7 meters or 17 to 23 feet of sea-level rise.

而在不减少碳排放量的情况下，科学家预测整个格陵兰岛的冰层将可能完全溶化，导致 1000 年内海平面将上升 5 至 7 米，或 17 至 23 英尺。

It is thought to be caused by the melting of Greenland's ice sheets and the weakening of the great oceanic conveyor belts that transport warmer water from the tropics into the higher northern latitudes.

人们认为这是由于格陵兰岛冰盖融化和将温暖的海水从热带输送到北纬较高地区的大洋传送带减弱造成的。
