Greenland's ice sheet is one of the largest in the world, containing approximately 2.85 million cubic kilometers of ice. This vast expanse covers about 80% of the island's surface and is crucial for global sea level regulation. If fully melted, it could raise global sea levels by about 7 meters (23 feet). The ice sheet is currently experiencing significant melting due to climate change, contributing to rising sea levels.
