Something ancient is escaping from beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet. 715 tonnes of Methane every year from the western margin alone.

What makes this especially alarming: current climate models do not account for it.

A23a is about to vanish from the Earth forever.

When Antarctic ice collapses at this speed, the world feels it. Marine species lose feeding grounds, ocean ecosystems shift, and sea levels rise - threatening coastal communities worldwide.
