A new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed.

A study led by Durham University analyzed 8,000 3D surface maps of the Greenland Ice Sheet that were captured using satellite imagery. Researchers found that between 2016 and 2021, crevasses — or ...

A major role in this is played by the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, which is the second largest, second only to the Antarctic glaciers. Pros estimates scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion ...
