TL;DR Summary

Researchers have discovered giant viruses on the Greenland ice sheet that may help control algae blooms, which darken the ice and accelerate melting. These viruses, larger and more complex than typical viruses, could potentially reduce ice melt and mitigate some effects of global warming. Further research is needed to understand their specific roles and effectiveness.
