The Greenland Ice Sheet, the largest freshwater reservoir in the Northern Hemisphere, is losing mass at an unprecedented rate ...

By using a fiber-optic cable to detect tiny vibrations a mile below the surface, scientists discovered a surprising way that ...

Crevasses play an integral part in the life cycle of glaciers, and as they grow they hold the potential to further accelerate ...

The great ice streams of the Antarctic and Greenland are like frozen rivers, carrying ice from the massive inland ice sheets ...

And an old land mass like Greenland contains detailed documentation ... Most of the island is covered by the slow-flowing Greenland Ice Sheet that drains towards the coastline through a number ...

Finally, where the ice meets the ocean and no scientist would ever dare to stand, they can be monsters over 100 meters from wall to wall. And across Greenland, they are growing. It shouldn't be ...

The increased crevassing, especially prominent in fast-flowing portions of the ice sheet, could lead to a feedback loop that accelerates ice loss from the glacier, which ultimately raises sea levels.

Experts warn that sea levels could rise by seven metres and cause mass destruction if the ice sheet was to melt ...

The changing environment has seen parts of Greenland's ice sheet and glaciers replaced by wetlands, areas of shrub and barren rock. For mining companies, Greenland's ice retreat could facilitate ...
