"For the first time, we are able to see significant increases in the size and depth of crevasses at fast-flowing glaciers at ...

The United Nations declared 2025 as the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation to promote awareness about the role of glaciers, snow and ice.

There were some areas where crevassses became smaller, such as the Sermeq Kujalleq, which has also the fastest moving glacier in Greenland. Total losses across the sheet were thus balanced somewhat ...

Crevasses are wedge-shaped fractures and cracks that open in glaciers where the ice begins to flow faster. They can grow to more than 300 feet wide, thousands of feet long and hundreds of feet deep.

During glacier surges, the ice begins moving at speed and the glacier front can advance, in some settings blocking rivers and forming lakes that put communities and infrastructure downstream at ...

The analysis revealed that the glacier's flow sped up on a daily and twice-daily basis. The first boost is likely because of daily increases in meltwater flow when the daytime air temperature ...

"This discovery is very rare because the remains of this forest were trapped under a stationary ice mass, not under a moving glacier," he added. These ancient trees could offer insights into past ...
