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 ...
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 ...
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 .
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are now losing more than three times as much ice a year as they were 30 years ago, according to a new comprehensive international study. Using 50 different ...
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]
With a new airport opening in the capital later this month and a clutch of expedition cruise itineraries available, Joanna Booth finds out how Greenland is becoming more accessible
Most lakes in the world occupy basins scoured out by glaciers. Glacial motion can be fast (up to 30 metres per day (98 ft/d), observed on Jakobshavn Isbræ in Greenland) [1] or slow (0.5 metres per year (20 in/year) on small glaciers or in the center of ice sheets), but is typically around 25 centimetres per day (9.8 in/d).
