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 ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new ...

The research station and borehole are located on the North East Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS), significantly contributing to ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 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 ...

During the Cold War, the U.S. built a military base under the ice in Greenland, hidden from the Soviets. It was eventually abandoned, but its most lasting legacy is a pivotal role in climate science.
