Even under such conditions, it would still take thousands of years for the Greenland ice sheet to disappear, Steffen said.

即便在这种情况下，可能还要持续数千年，格陵兰冰盖才会彻底消失。

The only uncertainty is the time it would take for complete ice sheet disintegration.

唯一不确定的是要多久完整的冰层才会分崩离析。

Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.

蓝色条纹通常是当冰层上的裂缝被融冰填充再极速凝固的过程中没有产生气泡而形成的状态。
