The documentary includes scenes from a glacier calving event that took place at Jacobshavn Isbræ in Greenland, lasting 75 minutes, the longest such event ever captured on film. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Two EIS videographers waited several weeks in a small tent overlooking the glacier and, finally, witnessed 7.4 cubic kilometres (1.8 cu mi) of ice crashing ...
Global warming has increased the speed at which glaciers in Greenland are melting by fivefold over the last 20 years, scientists from the University of Copenhagen said on Friday. Greenland's ice ...
Satellite observations have revealed the Greenland ice sheet’s rapid thinning, which has accelerated as the planet warms Incredible satellite images show Greenland’s massive ice sheet melting ...
Researchers combed through hundreds of thousands of historical photos of Greenland's coastal glaciers to identify new trends. Greenland glaciers are melting twice as fast as they did in the 2000s ...
Petermann Glacier (Danish: Petermann Gletsjer) is a large glacier located in North-West Greenland to the east of Nares Strait. It connects the Greenland ice sheet to the Arctic Ocean at 81°10' north latitude, near Hans Island .
For example, Gore cites the retreat of nearly all glaciers caused by melting over recent decades, showing nine cases, such as the Grinnel and Boulder Glaciers and Patagonia. He discusses the possibility of the collapse and melting of a major ice sheet in Greenland or in West Antarctica , either of which could raise global sea levels by ...
A NASA study revealed a glacier that was one of the fastest-shrinking ice and snow masses on Earth is making an unexpected comeback. Greenland's glacier, named Jakobshavn, was retreating roughly 1 ...
Retreating calving front of the Jacobshavn Isbrae glacier in Greenland from 1851 - 2006. Nature photojournalist James Balog founded the Extreme Ice Survey in 2007 after spending much of the previous two years photographing receding glaciers for National Geographic [4] and The New Yorker. Balog saw extraordinary amounts of ice vanishing with ...
