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

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

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

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

The West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...

Research, published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, suggests that mass unloading due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets (isostatic rebound) is triggering eruptions of greater frequency ...

What does the megaberg heading for South Georgia Island near the Antarcitc mean for the penguins, birds, and seals that make it their home.

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