The remote and often unforgiving surface of Greenland’s ice sheet has long been a subject of intrigue for scientists. What lies beneath the thick layers of snow and ice has been largely a mystery, ...

A salty surge in the Southern Ocean is melting Antarctic sea ice from below — and causing dramatic changes scientists didn’t ...

Some 400,000 years ago, Greenland was, well, green, scientists say. According to a new study released Thursday, the massive island was an ice-free tundra landscape – perhaps covered by trees.

We may need to rethink that old expression "Greenland is ice, Iceland is green." New research published Tuesday says that because of global warming, Greenland’s ice sheet is melting fast – and ...

The Greenland ice sheet lost 20 percent more ice than scientists previously thought, posing potential problems for ocean circulation and sea level rise, a study says.

Greenland’s floating ice platforms — which hold back trillions of tons of ice that could cause sea level rise — are in stark decline, according to a new study.

Greenland’s ice is melting four times faster than thought—what it means. New science suggests Greenland may be approaching a dangerous tipping point, with implications for global sea-level rise.

Zombie ice from the massive Greenland ice sheet will eventually raise global sea level by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, according to a study released Monday.

Even if the planet doesn't get any warmer than it is now, melting ice in Greenland could add at least 1.5 metres to the global average sea level and possibly as much as 5 metres.

An estimated 11,000 sq miles or 28,707 sq kilometers of Greenland's ice sheet and glaciers have melted over the last three decades, according to a major analysis of historic satellite records.

Recent temperatures in Greenland’s ice sheet—one of the primary culprits behind rising seas—were the warmest they’ve been in at least 1,000 years, according to a new report, as scientists ...

The Nioghalvfjerdsfjord glacier (pictured) is one outlet of the roughly 600-kilometer-long Northeast Greenland Ice Stream, which drains ice from the country’s massive ice sheet into the sea.
