The hotspot softened the rock in its wake, lowering the viscosity of the mantle rocks along a path running deep below the surface of Greenland's east coast.According to researchers from Ohio State University in the US, the hotspot that feeds Iceland's active volcanoes has softened the mantle rock beneath Greenland in a way that ultimately distorted their calculations for ice loss in theGreenland ice sheet. The study appears in the journal Science Advances.During the last ice age, Greenland's ice sheet was much larger than now, and its enormous weight caused Greenland's crust to slowly sink.That means Greenland did not lose about 2,500 gigatonnes of ice from 2003-2013 as scientists previously thought, but nearly 2,700 gigatonnes instead which is 7.6 per cent discrepancy in overall ice loss is overshadowed by the [...]
