To somewhat circle back to this post . . . This is also an issue that concerns the albedo effect. The ice caps on the mountains are white, while the soil underneath is much darker. As I currently understand the issue, the more those caps melt, the more heat will build up in the region, causing a positive feedback loops that accelerates melting.
