"Rapid Ice Loss in Greenland Causes Island to Grow Taller"
As Greenland's ice sheets melt, the landmass is gradually rising due to glacial isostatic rebound, with up to one third of the uplift in some areas attributed to glaciers receding. Data from GPS monitors embedded into Greenland's bedrock revealed that significant land uplift is occurring closest to the largest glaciers, with the Kangerlussuaq Glacier in southeast Greenland experiencing the fastest rise. Studies also indicate that Greenland's glaciers are melting faster than previously estimated, with 20% more ice melting along the edges than previously thought, contributing to sea level rise.
