Lake Urmia is a salt lake in northwestern Iran near Iran’s border with Turkey. The lake is between the provinces of East Azerbaijan and West Azerbaijan in Iran, and west of the southern portion of the Caspian Sea. At its full size, it is the largest lake in the Middle East and the sixth largest saltwater lake on earth with a surface area of approximately 5,200 km (2,000 mile ), 140 km (87 mi) length, 55 km (34 mi) width, and 16 m (52 ft) depth. Lake Urmia along with its approximately 102 islands are protected as a national park by the Iranian Department of Environment. (Photo by Kaveh Kazemi/Getty Images) ur1

  • VARIOUS<br>Mandatory Credit: Photo by Ashley Cooper/SpecialistStoc/REX/Shutterstock (1047662a) Melt water on the Greenland ice sheet near camp Victor north of Ilulissat. The Greenland ice sheet is the largest ice sheet outside of Antarctica. Temperatures have risen by nine degrees Fahrenheit in Greenland in the last 60 years due to human induced climate change. This is causing the ice sheet to melt at unprecedented rates which is deeply worrying as the ice sheet contains enough water to raise global sea levels by nine metres. VARIOUS

    John Abraham: Do you know how an ice sheet can move? You’ll find out below.
