The Prudhoe Dome, currently a 500-metre-thick ice dome attached to the northwestern Greenland Ice Sheet, completely melted approximately 7,000 years ago, according to a study in Nature Geoscience.

The findings highlight the sensitivity of Greenland’s ice sheet to warming and suggest that similar temperature increases expected by the end of this century could lead to similar ice mass loss and associated sea level rise.
