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 ...
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 Greenland ice sheet has lost about 1,965 square miles to glacial retreat since 1985, a new study says.
Hiawatha Glacier is a glacier in northwest Greenland, with its terminus in Inglefield Land. [1] [2] It was mapped in 1922 by Lauge Koch, who noted that the glacier tongue extended into Lake Alida (near Foulk Fjord). [3] Hiawatha Glacier attracted attention in 2018 because of the discovery of a crater beneath the surface of the ice sheet in the ...
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 Hiawatha impact structure is a probable impact structure discovered beneath the Hiawatha Glacier in northwest Greenland, from which it gets its name. It was identified using airborne radar surveys that showed the presence of a crater-like depression in the bedrock beneath the ice. Shocked quartz grains and melt rock clasts have been found ...
Normally, cracks in a glacier wouldn't be much cause for concern, but this one is troubling. Scientists noticed the rift while looking at satellite images. Normally, cracks in a glacier wouldn't ...
Puisortoq is a glacier on the east coast of Greenland. [1] It has been in a status of retreat for the past years. [2] It is a very active glacier protruding into the sea and discharging great amounts of ice, making navigation along the coast dangerous.
