In just five years, 930 million cubic meters of crevasses opened up in the Greenland ice sheet, equivalent to adding a crack the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza to the world’s second largest ice sheet every few days. 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. Greenland’s ice melt has added 0.4 inches to sea levels since 1992 and is estimated to add another foot by the end of the century.
