Greenland's ice sheet site once lacked ice 416,000 years ago, study finds

Researchers have found that the location of a former US nuclear base in northwest Greenland was ice-free roughly 416,000 years ago. The conclusion comes from analysis of sediment and rock samples collected from the site. The finding suggests the region's ice cover was far more sensitive to warm periods than previously assumed. Scientists say this has implications for projecting how Greenland's ice sheet may respond to rising global temperatures.
