Maps created by combining different models of glaciers and ice sheets reveal the way water is flowing deep beneath Antarctica ...

The world's second biggest body of ice - the Greenland Ice Sheet - is cracking open quicker than scientists had previously ...

Observing Greenland from a helicopter, the main problem is one of comprehending scale. I have thought we were skimming low ...

Greenland’s Ice Sheet is cracking open at the seams, literally falling apart at speeds indicative of the brutal and accelerating impact of global climate change. In just five years, 930 million cubic ...

The West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...

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

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open at an accelerating pace, with crevasses growing larger and deeper due to the effects of climate change. A new study using high-resolution 3D mapping has reveal ...

Large-scale study finds crevasse sizes on Greenland ice sheet increasing in size and depth – and may cause more rapid loss of ...

Crevasses can reach over 300 feet in width, thousands of feet in length, and hundreds of feet in depth. Research led by glaciologist Thomas Chudley from ...

Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, ...

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.
