This is a drone image of meltwater that has formed on the glacier sheet in Greenland due to climate change. It shows the before and after of the water falling through the cracks in the ice sheet, which contributes to more water and ice being pushed out to sea. It was temporarily the tallest waterfall in the world, and the water was cascading at approximately 950 cubic meters per second. This is an important phenomenon to study because the melting of these ice sheets contributes to global sea level rise.
