Crevasses are wedge-shaped fractures or cracks that open in glaciers where ice begins to flow faster.

Increased crevassing has the potential to speed up the loss of ice from Greenland .

Greenland contains enough ice to add 7 meters ( 23 feet ) of sea level rise to the world's oceans if the entire ice sheet were to melt.

The research team also included Dr. Michalea King from the University of Washington and Dr. Emma MacKie at the University of Florida .
