Finally, where the ice meets the ocean and no scientist would ever dare to stand, they can be monsters over 100 metres from wall to wall. And across Greenland, they are growing. It shouldn’t be ...
In just five years, 930 million cubic meters of crevasses opened up in the Greenland ice sheet, equivalent to adding a crack the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza to the world's second largest ice ...
The study found that crevasses are expanding more quickly than previously detected, and somewhere between 50 and 90 percent of the water flowing through the Greenland Ice Sheet goes through ...
In context: A study on the Greenland Ice Sheet reveals alarming trends in crevasse formation, shedding new light on the potential acceleration of global sea level rise. The research provides ...

A study by Durham University reveals that the Greenland ice sheet is cracking faster due to climate change. Researchers observed significant increases in the size and depth of crevasses ...
The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world’s second largest body of ice.
The Greenland ice sheet, the second largest body of ice in the world, is cracking more rapidly than ever before in response to climate breakdown, revealed a study published in the journal Nature ...
The Greenland Ice Sheet is a vast reserve of frozen water, with the potential to raise sea levels by a whopping seven metres (23 feet). Now, scientists have warned that the ice sheet - the world's ...
For much of the twentieth century, the Greenland Ice Sheet made little contribution to sea level rise, having an almost equal balance of annual snowfall gain versus ice or meltwater loss. But in ...
The world's second largest body of ice - the Greenland Ice Sheet - is cracking open quicker than previously,scientists have warned. Using three-dimensional maps of its surface, researchers have found ...
