The West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...

Research Reveals ‘Warm Water’ Flowing Toward One of Antarctica’s Biggest Ice Shelves Could Dramatically Raise Sea Levels ...

Surface melting for the Antarctic ice sheet appears to have set a record for the 46-year satellite observation period on January 2, 2025. All areas of the Antarctic coast that generally see ...

A team from the Polar Engineering Research Group at UCT has set off on their first field expedition to Antarctica.

Satellite data from early 2025 revealed extensive melting at Antarctica’s Amery Ice Shelf, highlighting its vulnerability. As ...

In several places around the continent, the ice extends over the ocean, where it forms large floating shelves. Observations suggest many of these ice shelves are thinning as they melt from below ...

A23a, a massive iceberg nearly the size of Rhode Island, towering at 40 meters, is on a collision course with South Georgia.

Both Steiger and Naughten highlighted the importance of long-term observations to better understand the region and predict future ice shelf changes. Ultimately, while scientists agree that warm ...

However, the study authors only had data from 2017 to 2021. Both Steiger and Naughten highlighted the importance of long-term observations to better understand the region and predict future ice shelf ...

To do so, RV Polarstern had to navigate the very narrow channel that separates A74 from the Brunt Ice Shelf - the frozen floating platform from which the berg broke two weeks ago. The EU's ...
