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 ...
Researchers combed through hundreds of thousands of historical photos of Greenland's coastal glaciers to identify new trends.
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 ...
The Mittivakkat Glacier is located in southeast Greenland, and is part of the largest ice field on Ammassalik Island. This glacier has been in retreat (negative net mass balance) throughout most of recorded history (1898–2008). [1] Reindeer bones were recovered from the retreating glacier in 2005, and dated to about 1200-1300 AD. [2]
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 .
At the top of the world, northern Greenland’s huge glaciers, long thought to be relatively stable, are in trouble, a new study shows. ... Between 2006 and 2018, the melting of Greenland’s ice ...
If Greenland's ice sheet were to melt entirely the sea level would rise more than 20 feet. Combined with the arctic's ice caps melting, scientists predict the rise in sea level would affect almost ...
