Three glaciers holding back a vast ice stream in northeast Greenland, a region thought to be the last bastion of stability in that rapidly warming region, are now thinning and moving more rapidly into the sea, a new study found The study overturns longstanding assumptions that the northeastern corner of Greenland, which is one of the coldest and driest parts of the world’s largest island, is stable, and instead suggests that sea level rise projections based on this assumption will need to be reevaluated.
