Unusual weather patterns and climate change have been driving stark changes in the northwestern state. Now, new satellite ...

During the Cold War, the U.S. built a military base under the ice in Greenland, hidden from the Soviets. It was eventually abandoned, but its most lasting legacy is a pivotal role in climate science.

Scientists have, for the first time, observed a massive glacial lake outburst in East Greenland, releasing over 3,000 billion ...

An international team of researchers has shown that countless tiny ice quakes take place in one of Greenland's mightiest ice streams. This finding will allow the flowing of the ice sheet and ...

By using a fiber-optic cable to detect tiny vibrations a mile below the surface, scientists discovered a surprising way that ...

The great ice streams of the Antarctic and Greenland are like frozen rivers, carrying ice from the massive inland ice sheets ...

New 3D maps of the Greenland Ice Sheet show how huge cracks in the ice that accelerate melting expanded between 2016 and 2021 ...

Greenland’s Ice Sheet is cracking open at the seams, literally falling apart at speeds indicative of the brutal and ...

Recent findings have raised alarm among scientists about the Greenland Ice Sheet’s stability, revealing that crevasses—deep fissures in the ice—are growing at a much faster rate than previously ...
