"Unexpected changes being observed in East Antarctica." Scientists observe concerning 'unexpected changes' in Antarctic ice ...

Maps created by combining different models of glaciers and ice sheets reveal the way water is flowing deep beneath Antarctica ...

"What if the iron stones were warming up to the point where they would actually melt the glacial ice beneath them and sink ...

Much of this uncertainty is because the ocean processes that control the fate of the sheet occur on an incredibly small scale ...

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions.

Melting ice in Antarctica could trigger volcanic eruptions beneath the continent’s vast ice sheet, creating a slow but dangerous feedback loop, scientists warn. A new study suggests the melting ...

Surface melting for the Antarctic ice sheet appears to have set a record for the 46-year satellite observation period on January 2, 2025. All areas of the Antarctic coast that generally see ...

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.

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 ...

While warming temperatures are driving a widespread loss of ice shelves, major calving events have not increased in frequency ...

Antarctica, often regarded as the planet's last true wilderness, harbors unique ecosystems that support extraordinary ...

Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, ...
