Greenland's ice sheet is cracking and literally falling apart at a very alarming rate
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 meters of crevasses opened up in the Greenland ice sheet.
Crevasses in Greenland’s ice sheet are increasing, study shows
Crevasses play an integral part in the life cycle of glaciers, and as they grow they hold the potential to further accelerate ice-sheet loss.
Greenland's ice sheet — the second biggest in the world — is cracking open at alarming speed, scientists discover
New 3D maps of the Greenland Ice Sheet show how huge cracks in the ice that accelerate melting expanded between 2016 and 2021.
Greenland ice cracks are widening, potentially speeding the rise of global sea levels
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
Greenland Ice is Cracking Up Faster
New research has analyzed melt patterns on the Greenland Ice Sheet. This study determined that cracks are opening up faster as the sheet melts in response | Earth And The Environment
Changes in a Greenland Glacier Hid a Grim Truth of Ice Sheet's Destruction
Observing Greenland from a helicopter, the main problem is one of comprehending scale. I have thought we were skimming low over the waves of a fjord, before noticing the tiny shadow of a seabird far below and realising what I suspected were floating shards of ice were in fact icebergs the size of office blocks.
