A hidden lake beneath Greenland's Harder Glacier unexpectedly erupted, creating a massive crater and forcing water upward through solid ice, challenging existing climate models and highlighting the need for better understanding of subglacial hydrology to predict future sea level rise.
Satellites revealed a massive 2014 flood beneath Greenland's ice sheet caused by a hidden subglacial lake, which fractured the ice surface and created a large crater, highlighting new insights into ice sheet dynamics and potential impacts of climate change.
Scientists discovered a massive flood under Greenland's ice sheet in 2014, where 90 billion liters of meltwater burst through nearly 300 feet of ice, creating a crater and fracturing the ice, challenging previous understanding of ice sheet dynamics and highlighting the complex impact of meltwater on ice stability.
