If you are interested in facts, it is always better to read the scientific article ("A large impact crater beneath Hiawatha Glacier in northwest Greenland"), if you can[1][2].
I stopped reading this summary at "and the released steam, a greenhouse gas, could have locally warmed Greenland, melting even more ice." Yes, steam is a greenhouse gas. No, that is not why Greenland may have been warmed by the steam. The steam itself is hot and would melt more ice. I can't find the word "steam" mentioned in the science paper. Gell-Mann amnesia effect I suppose.
