Det er ikke bare i Vest-Antarktis at geotermisk varme gjør isen ustabil:

QuoteIce-penetrating radar1, 2, 3 and ice core drilling4 have shown that large parts of the north-central Greenland ice sheet are melting from below. It has been argued that basal ice melt is due to the anomalously high geothermal flux1, 4 that has also influenced the development of the longest ice stream in Greenland1.
