The fourth Antarctic campaign of the Beyond EPICA-Oldest Ice project has achieved a historic milestone this week, by successfully drilling a 2800-metre-long ice core, consisting of ice from the ...

Deep under the frozen desert of western Antarctica, a hidden danger slumbers. Lurking beneath the massive, 1–2 kilometer-thick slab of frozen water lies an active volcanic rift, seething away in the ...

Blue puddles of water were visible atop the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica after periods of record melting. Satellite data from early 2025 revealed extensive melting at Antarctica’s Amery Ice ...

Melting ice in both the Arctic and Antarctic has a huge impact on our planet. The Earth depends on ice sheets to reflect sunlight back into space to regulate temperature and create a stable climate.

According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, scientists used satellite imagery to document and chronicle the collapse of the Conger-Glenzer ice shelf, which occurred in 2022 over the course ...

Scientists used computer models to predict how water flows under the entire Antarctic ice sheet, which dictates where and how quickly glaciers move toward the ocean. The findings, published Dec ...

Ice loss from this sheet is projected to be the leading driver of sea level rise by 2100, yet its contribution remains highly uncertain. While sea levels are certain to rise this century ...

Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf may be under threat due to relatively warm water from the deep sea flowing towards the shelf. Is climate change to blame? When you purchase through links on ...

University of Tasmania provides funding as a member of The Conversation AU. The size of the Antarctic ice sheet can be hard to comprehend. Two kilometres thick on average and covering nearly twice ...

Ancient ice core extracted from Antarctica's Little Dome C site 1.2-million-year-old air bubbles may reveal past climate shifts Ice core study could explain climate's impact on human evolution ...
