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 ...

Gaping crevasses that penetrate upward from the bottom of the largest remaining ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula make it more susceptible to collapse, according to University of Colorado Boulder ...

Jeremy N. Bassis is in the Department of Climate and Space Sciences, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA. Ice shelves restrain the flow of ice from the grounded portions of the ice ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is a vast reserve of frozen water, with the potential to raise sea levels by a whopping seven metres (23 feet). Now, scientists have warned that the ice sheet - the world's ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – More than merely cracks in the ice, crevasses play an important role in circulating seawater beneath Antarctic ice shelves, potentially influencing their stability, finds Cornell ...

Crevasses are the arteries of ice sheets, keeping colder and more temperate seawater in careful circulation, according to a robot. Yes, that’s right: an underwater, remotely controlled robot called ...

More crevasse activity could lead to positive feedback loop threatening Greenland glacier's stability. In just five years, 930 million cubic meters of crevasses opened up in the Greenland ice sheet, ...

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 3D ...
