The Greenland Ice Sheet sits in the Arctic, from 59-83°N, covering about 80% of the island of Greenland. It has a huge volume of ~2.9 million km3 (which would be equivalent to 7.42 m sea level rise1), and is drained by a series of outlet glaciers, where ice flows constantly to the margin2. The largest […]
