Rapidly-flowing ice streams drain the interior of the Greenland Ice Sheet, currently accounting for half of its annual mass loss. The Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) is one of the longest, recognisable almost 600 km inland, extending close to the ice divide. Here, we use swath radar imaging t...
