Greenland Ice Sheet is the biggest body of ice in the northern hemisphere and covers 80 per cent of Greenland 's surface.

As the planet warms and the ice melts, the ice sheet's vast glaciers flow towards the sea where they break up, or calve, into icebergs.

As deep cracks form in the ice, they help break up the sheet and allow warmer meltwater to flow across the ice.

This could trigger a 'domino effect' that could lead to sea level rises by 2100 .
