A recent study shows Greenland's massive ice sheet is developing huge cracks at an unprecedented speed, driven by climate change.
Using high-resolution satellite images, scientists tracked the rapid expansion of these crevasses between 2016 and 2021.
This accelerated fracturing contributes substantially to ice melt, raising sea levels and posing significant risks to coastal areas.
The increased melt rate, combined with faster ice flow into the ocean, significantly accelerates the rise in sea levels globally.
