Each summer, Greenland\u2019s ice sheet \u2014 the world\u2019s second-largest expanse of ice, measuring three times the size of Texas \u2014 begins to melt. Pockets of melting ice form hundreds of large, \u201csupraglacial\u201d lakes on the surface of the ice. Many of these lakes drain through cracks and crevasses in the ice sheet, creating a liquid layer over which massive chunks of ice can slide. This natural conveyor belt can speed ice toward the coast, where it eventually falls off into the sea.\u00a0In recent years, scientists have observed more lakes forming toward the center of the ice sheet \u2014 a region that had been previously too cold to melt enough ice for lakes to form.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-391699","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nDraining Greenland lakes unlikely to contribute to sea-level rise - Revolution<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Each summer, Greenland\u2019s ice sheet \u2014 the world\u2019s second-largest expanse of ice, measuring three times the size of Texas \u2014 begins to melt.
