“In March, a NASA-led research team announced that Jakobshavn Isbrae, is … thickening and advancing toward the ocean”
Following the study’s publication, additional analyses show Jakobshavn grew thicker by 22 and 33 yards (20 to 30 meters) each year from 2016 to 2019.”
Greenland’s Petermann Glacier has grown more than 5km over the past nine years.
