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, ...

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 ...

Now, Greenland's ice sheet is losing nearly 300 gigatons of water each year more than it gains from snowfall, Lipscomb said. "There's still time to avoid catastrophic sea level rise, ...

The collapse of the world’s second-largest ice sheet would drown cities worldwide. Is that ice more vulnerable than we know?

Greenland's ice sheet melted 17 times faster than the past average during a May heatwave that also hit Iceland, the scientific network World Weather Attribution (WWA) said in a report Wednesday. 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 is the world’s largest island and is covered with a sheet of ice that, if it melted entirely, could raise sea levels by more than 20 feet.

Greenland's ice sheet is second in size only to that of Antarctica, with both bodies stories about 68% of the world's freshwater resources, according to Copernicus, ...

At 656,000 square miles, the Greenland ice sheet currently covers around 80% of the island territory.To put that into perspective, it's about three times the size of Texas. Drill dome and camp for ...

David Attenborough takes us on a virtuoso tour of the Greenland ice sheet. Greenland’s terrestrial ice has existed for about 2.6 million years and has expanded and contracted with two dozen or ...

A new large-scale study of crevasses on the Greenland Ice Sheet shows that those cracks are widening faster as the climate warms, which is likely to speed ice loss and global sea level rise.

Ice loss in Greenland is already large, irreversible, and greatly accelerated after centuries of near stability. Though a tipping point for future ice loss has already been crossed, the pace of this ...
