We found that from 2016 to 2021, there were significant increases in crevasse volume across fast-flowing sectors of the Greenland ice sheet. In the southeast of the ice sheet, an area that has been particularly vulnerable to ocean-induced acceleration and retreat in the past few years, crevasse volume increased by over 25 percent.

Greenland’s Ice Sheet is cracking open at the seams, literally falling apart at speeds indicative of the brutal and accelerating impact of global climate change. In just five years, 930 million cubic meters of crevasses opened up in the Greenland ice sheet.

Greenland ice sheet cracking open quicker than ever before, warn scientists - If the Greenland Ice Sheet was to melt, sea levels could rise by seven metres

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world's second largest body of ice.

Large-scale study finds crevasse sizes on Greenland ice sheet increasing in size and depth – and may cause more rapid loss of ice from region

The sheet is the second largest body of ice in the world with the news a worrying updated in the battle against global warming.

Cracks in Greenland's ice sheet are growing more rapidly due to climate change, reveals new research. The warning comes following major new high-tech analysis of crevasses on the world’s second-largest body of ice.
