The world’s second largest body of ice – the Greenland Ice Sheet – is cracking open quicker than previously, scientists have warned. Using 3-D maps of its surface, researchers have found ...

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 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 ...
