The heavier, denser sea water drops down and moves the water circulation. This is part of the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.)

When the fresh water glacier melts into the sea water, it lowers the salinity and slows down the AMOC because the water is not so dense anymore.

Previously, the Greenland ice cap was losing about 30 million tonnes of ice melt every day. Recently, scientists have observed the ice cap is losing an alarming average of 30 million tonnes of floating ice per hour.
