it can create spectacular blue ice, craggy piles and "volcanoes" that spray water high into the air, but officials say people should stay off shelf ice along the beach because it hides deadly secrets.

A new study led by geologists and geographers from the University of Florida provides new insights into Antarctic ice shelves and how they respond to climate change. While warming temperatures are ...

A major ice shelf in Antarctica appears to have survived a period of hot temperatures more than 120,000 years ago, indicating that the West Antarctic ice sheet may not be vulnerable to complete ...

Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate change on Antarctic ice shelves. It found that while there has been broad ...
