meltwater

音標(biāo)發(fā)音

Either it exposes land, which then warms up; or it forms ponds (or lakes or streams) of meltwater on the surface of the ice, which absorb energy and melt more ice.
融冰過程要么導(dǎo)致陸地暴露并且溫度升高，要么在冰層表面形成池塘（或湖泊，或溪流），并吸收能量，融化更多的冰。
The risk is not so much that the ice caps of Greenland and Antarctica will melt, but that enough meltwater will get under them to lubricate their journey from the land into the sea.
這個風(fēng)險(xiǎn)最大的源頭還不是格陵蘭島和南極冰帽的融化，而是足夠多融化的冰水會匯集到冰川底部，使它們從陸地滑到海洋的路徑更加潤滑。
No one quite knows why glaciers and ice shelves are melting so fast, or how a meltwater lake on the Greenland ice sheet covering six square kilometres could drain away in 24 hours, as it did in 2006.
沒有人非常了解為什么冰架這么迅速的融化，也沒人知道格林蘭冰架上的一個覆蓋6平方千米的融水湖會在24小時內(nèi)流干——這在2006確實(shí)發(fā)生了。

Meltwater runs something very much akin to Google Alerts, or a clippings service if you prefer.
