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

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

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 ...

The rapidly melting Antarctic ice sheet could trigger the eruption of over 100 volcanoes hidden beneath the ice. The thinning ice is destabilizing the volcano's magma chambers, say scientists.

“Volcanic activity has been shown to affect Earth’s climate in a myriad of ways,” the authors write. “One such example is that eruptions proximate to surface ice will promote ice melting. In turn, the ...

These images, snapped by the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on January 1, show pools of pale blue meltwater peppered across the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. This melting comes despite ...
