When glaciers melt, the land below deforms. Sea level data show that widely used models oversimplify the process.

A boy in a striped t-shirt and shorts steers a long, narrow, and shallow boat with a long pole across a shallow body of water. The boat is laden with rocks. In the background is a marshland with a small group of people and a few tents, and beyond that are forests and mountains. One patch of forest on the right side of the mountains has been stripped bare by a past landslide.
