I feel like a fish out of water, or maybe an owl out of the air.

This ensures constant water and lush grass in summer, and protection from harsh winds in winter.

What the Wikipedia articles didn't tell me is that there's liquid water hidden inside the ice sheet, because we didn't know that yet.

Since these measurements began in 2002, the ice sheet has lost so much ice that if that water were piled up on our smallest continent, it would drown Australia knee-deep.

Hidden under the ice sheet are channels the size of the Grand Canyon that funnel ice and water off of Greenland and into the ocean.

If you want to melt your ice cube, you have to get it wet, because water heats up easily in the microwave.

Radar can see water.

And radar has revealed a vast pool of liquid water hidden under my colleague Olivia, seven stories beneath her feet.

Here, she's used a pump to bring some of that water back to the ice sheet's surface.

From there, the snow acts as an igloo, insulating this water from the cold and the wind above.

So the water can stay hidden in the ice sheet in liquid form year after year.

Does the water stay there forever?

One possible way for the water to reach the bedrock and from there the ocean is a crevasse, or a crack in the ice.

When cracks fill with water, the weight of the water forces them deeper and deeper.

You can fly over most of the Greenland ice sheet and see nothing, no cracks, no features on the surface, but as this helicopter flies towards the coast, the path that water would take on its quest to flow downhill, one crack appears, then another and another.

Are these cracks filled with liquid water?

And if so, how deep do they take that water?

So I borrowed them, adapted them for ice, and then I had a numeric model for how a crevasse can fracture when filled with water from the aquifer.

As the aquifer water flows into the crevasse, some of it refreezes in the negative 15 degree Celsius ice.

In our case, it is, and the aquifer water drives the crevasse all the way to the base of the ice sheet a thousand meters below.

So the aquifer water is a part of the three millimeters per year of sea level rise that we experience as a global society.

But there's more: the aquifer water might be punching above its weight.

There tends to be water at the base of the ice sheet here.

Usually, there's not water present at the base there.

Now that we know the aquifer water is getting to the base of the ice sheet, the next question is: Is it making the ice itself flow faster into the ocean?

And if it's really important to your partner, and you commit to it, make sure you move hell and high water to follow through.
