Anyone know, off hand, what part Greenland's ice sheet are melting at...
...the most alarming rate?

I'm looking though a few dozen NASA Satellite photos right now, and I'm not don't really know which part (west coast, southern tip, east coast, etc.) is the most alarming part to start with.

Note: these are very large image files, but It you want to look too, here's the link: <http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/?search=Greenland&date=>

3. Believe me, I know about the Permafrost too, but what I'm really looking
...for is a map that shows the boundaries of the different Greenland Glaciers. A good map of the Antarctic Glaciers would be nice too, but I'd really like a map showing where the named Glaciers are on Greenland right now.

BTW, I just found that site too: <http://www.solcomhouse.com/icecap.htm>

Looks like an good site.

Here's another: <http://icesat.gsfc.nasa.gov/>
