Refinery29: A breathtaking new video shows one stark reality of climate change: A huge portion of Greenland is literally melting away. The New York Times deployed a drone to capture the devastating effects of rising temperatures on the northern Atlantic nation. The drone's cameras rolled as it flew above part of Greenland's melting ice sheet. Scientists are using the footage to document and better understand just how quickly Greenland is melting. The result? Sweeping aerial views of deep blue rivers and...

Land is so scarce on parts of this small island that this particular cemetery is squeezed between homes, some abandoned, each hugging a narrow, rocky coastline on the ocean side of the atoll.
