The Thwaites Glacier is one of many bodies of ice that are melting, but this massive, Antarctic glacier is uniquely important when it comes to sea level rise. “We’re talking a ...

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

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

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

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 ...

An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic ...

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 millimetres.

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 ...

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