Beaches in Greenland?

As we are told that Global Warming is taking place, one would assume that foremrly-frigid Greenland ought to be heating up. So, how are the beaches in Greenland? Are they warm enough now for swimming?
Should we all be buying waterfront property there? :stuck_out_tongue:

I just checked the forecast for tomorrow by the Danish Weather Service and it seems as if **Nanortalik ** on the southern tip is gonna get a whopping high 50F by midday.

I wouldn’t set out for the beach, but obviously YMMV.

Well - we’ve had temperatures in the mid-to-upper 20.ies (centigrades) for the last few days here in Iceland (close enough, I figure).

But the North Atlantic is still pretty chilly :wink:

There is at least one global warming model around a few years ago that postulated the following:

  1. melting ice cap - more fresh water in N. Atlantic
  2. alteration in N. Atlantic density and salinity stops formation of North Atlantic Deep Water. (Dense water in N. Atlantic stops sinking)
  3. Hi Opal
  4. Cessation of Gulf stream waters moving to North Atlantic
  5. Regional cooling in North Atlantic

Don’t buy any beachfront property yet.

Is this a serious question? Do you really think global warming is having such an immediate drastic effect?

How about Iceland-does it ever get warm enough to go to the beach there?

I don’t know about beaches, but the effects are drastic enough for strawberries.

I don’t know if you would call them traditional beaches but Iceland has plenty of natural warm water places to bathe and swim in. They are quite popular with natives and tourists as well.
