Social media posts sharing a graphic comparing sea ice levels in the Antarctic on the same date 45 years apart misrepresent ...

Extreme precipitation events in Antarctica, which are mostly dominated by snowfall due to sub-zero temperatures, also include ...

Surface melting for the Antarctic ice sheet appears to have set a record for the 46-year satellite observation period on ...

Aside from the obvious problems of melting Antarctic ice, this problem of hidden volcanoes becoming active could spell ...

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions. Anatarctica has 140 hidden volcanoes.

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

A parliamentary report has called on for a second icebreaking vessel and more reliable funding for Antarctic research.

Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are immense. Yet the ocean processes that control basal melting, and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimeters.

Scientists say glacier engineering could be a potential stopgap as the Earth passes a critical climate milestone. Others aren’t as convinced ...

In recent years, it has become painfully evident that Earth is losing ice. Greenland's ice is shrinking, at a rate of 270 billion tons per year. And Antarctica is losing its ice, too, at a rate of ...
