Caption

The new drilling will take place in the very large ice stream in northeast Greenland. The ice stream begins near the summit of the ice sheet and reaches out to the coast, where it divides into three major ice streams. The surface speed of the ice is shown by color. The dark color flows more than 150 meters per years.
