In 2022, something shocking happened to the Hektoria Glacier. Over 16 months, it retreated by 25 kilometers, and it lost a whopping 8 kilometers in just two of those months—the fastest glacial retreat in the modern record.

Now, researchers say they have identified the worrisome mechanisms behind it.

Tides and glacial earthquakes caused record ice loss at Hektoria Glacier
