A new large-scale study of crevasses on the Greenland Ice Sheet shows that those cracks are widening faster as the climate ...

The increased crevassing, especially prominent in fast-flowing portions of the ice sheet, could lead to a feedback loop that accelerates ice loss from the glacier, which ultimately raises sea levels.
