Nioghalvfjerdsbræ), sometimes referred to as "79 N Glacier", is a large glacier located in King Frederick VIII Land, northeastern GreenlandIt drains an area of 103,314 km 2 (39,890 sq mi) of the Greenland Ice Sheet with a flux (quantity of ice moved from the land to the sea) of 14.3 km 3 (3.4 cu mi) per year, as measured for 1996.

The Greenland ice sheet is 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) thick and broad enough to blanket an area the size of Mexico.The ice is so massive that its weight presses the bedrock of Greenland below sea level and is so all-concealing that not until recently did scientists discover Greenland's Grand Canyon or the possibility that Greenland might actually be three islands.
The paper also suggested that ice losses from Greenland may be reversed by reducing temperature to 0.6 °C (1.1 °F) or lower, up until the entirety of South Greenland ice melts, which would cause 1.8 m (6 ft) of sea level rise and prevent any regrowth unless CO 2 concentrations is reduced to 300 ppm. If the entire ice sheet were to melt, it ...
The Greenland Ice Sheet lost 5,091 sq km (1930 sq miles) of area between 1985 and 2022, according to a study in the journal Nature published on Wednesday, the first full ice-sheet wide estimate of ...
The future development of the ice cap is highly dependent upon summer temperatures. [ 1 ] Hans Tausen Ice Cap ( Danish : Hans Tausens Iskappe ) is an ice cap in Peary Land , northern Greenland .
