The vast landmass is melting quickly due to climate change, and may rapidly cause the complete loss of the island's ice.

The Greenland ice sheet is the second largest body of ice on Earth and has been losing mass at an accelerating rate in the past few decades - with scientists warning of catastrophic consequences ...

Greenland's ice sheet currently spans over 1.7 million square kilometers and is the largest freshwater reservoir in the ...

While scientists once thought Greenland's ice streams flowed slowly and uniformly, new research reveals a quake-driven "stick ...

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

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. Using 3-D ...

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 world’s second largest body of ice – is cracking open quicker than previously, a new study has warned. For the first time, researchers have used 3D maps to ...

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.

"The change of seasons causes surface melting far inland from the coastal ice front," glaciologist Christopher Shuman said.
