Cracks in Greenland's ice sheet "growing more rapidly due to climate change"
New research has revealed that cracks in Greenland's ice sheet are expanding rapidly due to climate change. Scientists from Durham University analyzed 3-D surface maps and found that crevasses at the fast-flowing edges of the ice sheet grew significantly in size and depth from 2016 to 2021.
