NASA scientists rediscovered an abandoned U.S. nuclear base that lies entombed beneath at least 100 feet of ice.

The map shows the annual mass gain/loss by model at the end of the century, compared with the end of the last century. Values are expressed in “water equivalent millimeters”.

A contour heat map of Greenland, indicating elevations in the region. The star indicates the southeastern dome of the Greenland Ice Sheet, where the ice core in this study was collected (Yutaka ...

current widely accepted estimates include sea-level rises of about 23 feet if all of Greenland's ice vanished (or about 20 feet if West Antarctica's ice sheet disintegrated), and about 180 feet if ...

This is one of thousands of giant sinkholes, or moulins, in Greenland where water is draining through the ice sheet into the ocean. Meltwater from Greenland is the largest current contributor to ...

ILULISSAT, Greenland (CNN)-- From the air, Greenland's ice sheet, the second largest on Earth, appears to be perfectly still. But below the surface, the ice sheet is in constant motion ...

Greenland is covered by more than 650,000 square miles of ice – a massive, frozen ice sheet that blankets the island and slowly flows toward the ocean. But as the climate warms, the ice is melting and ...

New research charts the history of the Greenland Ice Sheet and its impact on global sea levels throughout history to present day. Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience the study provides the first ...

Greenland is a bellwether of global disruption driven by climate change. The ice sheet is dwindling in real time. Sapphire lakes of meltwater, sometimes miles wide, collect on glaciers in summer.
