The world's second-largest ice sheet, and the single largest contributor to global sea-level rise, is potentially becoming unstable because of fractures developing in response to faster ice flow and more meltwater forming on its surface.
Five billion liters of water drained to the bed of the ice sheet in under five hours, enough to lift up the kilometer-thick ice by over half a meter.
