Pockets of melting ice form hundreds of large, supraglacial lakes on the surface of the ice. Many of these lakes drain through cracks and crevasses in the ice sheet, called moulins, creating a liquid layer over which massive chunks of ice can slide.

Now they have found a surprising mechanism that triggers the cracks. Scientists had theorized that the sheer weight of the water in t…
