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'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.
Greenland ice sheet cracking open quicker than ever before, warn scientists
Greenland ice sheet cracking open quicker than ever before, warn scientists - If the Greenland Ice Sheet was to melt, sea levels could rise by seven metres
New 3-D Study of the Greenland Ice Sheet Shows Glaciers Falling Apart Faster Than Expected
Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, increasing concerns about how quickly their melting will raise sea levels.
Cracks in Greenland Ice Sheet growing 'quicker than expected', climate experts warn
The sheet is the second largest body of ice in the world with the news a worrying updated in the battle against global warming.
Greenland ice sheet cracking open quicker than before, say scientists
The loss of ice on Greenland has been behind a sea level rise of around 14mm since 1992, scientists have said. If the entire Greenland Ice Sheet was to melt, sea levels could rise
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.
Greenland’s glaciers are melting faster than anyone expected - study
"For the first time, we are able to see significant increases in the size and depth of crevasses at fast-flowing glaciers at ...
Cracks in Greenland Ice Sheet grow more rapidly in response to climate change, study warns
The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new ...
In Greenland, the Ice Doesn’t Just Flow, It Quivers and Quakes
By using a fiber-optic cable to detect tiny vibrations a mile below the surface, scientists discovered a surprising way that ...
Greenland’s Ice Sheet is Fracturing Faster Than Ever: A Warning for Rising Seas
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 ...

More, bigger crevasses open up in Greenland ice sheet, threatening increased sea level rise
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.
