| It turned out to be the highlight of the expedition, the day they breasted the icecap. |
|
| High-resolution pictures from the Mars Express spacecraft also suggested the Olympus Mons volcano on the planet's equator may have an icecap made of water. |
|
| Since 1950 numerous core samples have been taken from the Greenland icecap and used to study climatic changes over tens of thousands of years. |

| Arfersiorfik Fjord, fjord in western Greenland, extending east from Davis Strait to the inland icecap. |
|
| A radar profile through the ice for a 1100 meter long traverse over the center of the icecap. |
|
| View of the icecap margin from the helicopter during transport of the team and equipment from the Iskut airstrip to the summit. |
|
| It is in the Northern hemisphere that the change is the most significant, of which the melting of the icecap in Greenland and in the Arctic. |
|
| Near the Phoenix Lander, on the edge of the Martian Arctic icecap, there are now two scoop marks in the ground. |
|
| If the icecap that covers Greenland were to melt completely, sea levels worldwide would rise by an average of seven metres. |
|
| It is a prospect that brings home the importance of monitoring this fragile icecap, one more sensitive to global warming than Antarctica. |
|
| In all cases, sea-level rise is based exclusively on thermal expansion, ignoring effects from glacier and icecap melting. |
|
| The dress code was rather different and the refreshing sea breeze was replaced with painful gusts flung directly off the icecap, which looked very much like a frozen ocean. |
|
| In the Arctic region, the effects of climate change are plainly visible with melting sea ice, the melting of the Greenland icecap and thawing permafrost. |
|
| The bed of the river Semliki, the natural border between Uganda and the Congo, is being displaced because the Rwenzori mountain's icecap nearby is melting. |
|
| When warmer temperatures melted the icecap at the end of the Ice Age, rising sea levels submerged numerous human settlements, forests and coastlines. |
|
| Of course, Reynaud draws attention to another maritime alternative that is also mentioned at times, namely, a new sea route via the north that ought to become navigable year round with the melting of the icecap. |
|
| An icecap will be a barrier to most species, but a forest constitutes a barrier only to grassland species and other animals from very different habitats. |
|
| The explorers are trekking 700 miles to the North Pole to measure the thickness of the shrinking Arctic icecap. |
|
| Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister seems to be the only leader on the planet who would look at our Arctic's melting icecap and see an opportunity to drill for even more oil, putting more fuel on the climate change fire. |
|
| Evidence of increased precipitation is the development of snow and ice that covers Greenland, which led to an accumulation of the icecap. |
|
|
|
| There will be changes in the migration of fish, thawing of the polar icecap, extreme meteorological phenomena such as droughts, ice storms, and floods. |
|
| The crossing, which began on 24 February in the Russian Arctic, will pass through the North Pole, continue towards the south across the icecap, and go as far as the southernmost tip of Greenland. |
|
| But it does not bode well for resolving problems that will inevitably arise as the polar icecap recedes, opening the region to more shipping and resource exploration. |
|
| It is still not possible to make forecasts using these alarming data, as our knowledge of these extreme environments is so recent and partial, and our models of icecap dynamics still rudimentary. |
|
| In theory, the total volume of Greenland's ice represents a sea level rise of seven metres, and the West Antarctic icecap is the same order of magnitude. |
|
| The landscape, which mostly consists of Arctic tundra and icecap, supports a small, largely Inuit population that is engaged in fur trapping, fishing, and mining. |
|
| From the village of El Chaltén trails leads through the stunning FitzRoy massif, the granite pinnacles of which offer some of the world's toughest climbing, and from there on to the icecap. |
|
| It's shrinking faster than the polar icecap. |
|
| The flight started from Svalbard and crossed the icecap to Alaska. |
|
| The men died in the accident yesterday aboard the nuclear submarine HMS Tireless during a joint Anglo-American operation beneath the Arctic icecap. |
|
| Tours last up to one hour and are preceded by a guided exploration of the icecap, followed by a ride to the cave entrance in an eight-wheel-drive truck. |
|
| The Manchester University academic and a pal are heading to the Greenland Icecap on sledges pulled by giant kites. |
