10. Huge Moulin on the surface of the ice sheet in Greenland. Two recent studies of movement and melting of ice sheets revealed that the melting of the earth can cause drainage and seismic disturbances on the Greenland Ice Sheet. However, by itself the melting surface, which eventually lubricates the bottom of the ice formation and accelerates it slip through the soil, may not be sufficient to cause catastrophic loss of ice mass. The study appeared in the issue of "Science Express" on April 17, 2008.
