The decline of the island’s ice and increasingly volatile weather have made it hard to maintain some Indigenous traditions.

Greenland's ice is melting, opening new sea routes and yielding easier access to prized natural resources, writes Fred Hewett. The island has become a bellwether of global disruption driven by climate ...

Camp Century was built to store nukes beneath Greenland's ice. See photos of the underground, "Star Wars"-like site.

The Greenland ice sheet contains about 8% of the planet's freshwater, and its meltwater could contribute significantly to rising sea levels, changing ocean circulation and ecosystems worldwide.

About 125,000 years ago, during a warm period, Greenland’s ice sheet was smaller, and global sea levels were up to 19 feet higher. Today, with rising temperatures and melting ice, scientists ...

Norwegian scientists from the University of Bergen and drone specialist Marble have found a way to monitor Greenland's ice sheet, which is under severe strain and threatened by increasing melting ...

GREENLAND, AS YOU MAY KNOW, IS NEITHER NOT GREEN AND NOT REALLY LAND, BUT RATHER COVERED BY THE SECOND LARGEST BODY OF ICE IN THE WORLD, SECOND ONLY TO THE ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET. BUT THE ICE IS MELTING.

This is what’s happening as the Greenland Ice Sheet shrinks.” The more than 656,000-mile sheet — an area about three times the size of Texas — is nearly two miles thick, and contains about ...

Even given the rapid loss of Greenland’s 650,000-square-mile ice sheet, though, it would take a long while to lose it all—it’s 1.4 miles thick on average. The Earth itself is also frozen in ...

Rising temperatures are accelerating the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet, the largest ice mass in the Northern Hemisphere. The impact, coupled with warming oceans, has altered the area’s ...

Triggered by an abrupt period of warming during the late Pleistocene, which ended about 11,700 years ago, the collapse of the Cordilleran ice sheet holds important lessons for both the style and pace ...

For the first time, researchers have collected detailed measurements of water vapor high above the surface of the Greenland ice sheet. Their research, aided by a custom-designed drone, could help ...
