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

The Antarctic ice sheet is nearly twice the area of Australia and holds enough freshwater to raise global sea levels by 58 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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.
