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

The formation of the Antarctic Ice Sheet occurred differently than was previously assumed. An international team led by U Bremen Research Alliance researchers made a surprising discovery using a ...

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

By using a fiber-optic cable to detect tiny vibrations a mile below the surface, scientists discovered a surprising way that ...

The vehicle’s mission yielded key findings on glacial melt and deep currents before it disappeared under mysterious ...

Beneath Antarctica's ice, an unsuspected danger looms. Global warming could awaken dormant volcanoes, triggering a chain reaction with unpredictable consequences. This recent discovery sheds light on ...

As the ice sheets melt, eruptions may become more common – and stronger If you picture Antarctica, a continent roughly the size of the US and Mexico combined, an endless white void probably ...

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 ...

Increased basal melting has led to the thinning and retreat of the ice sheet in some regions, raising global sea levels . Ice shelves in Antarctica ice shelves act as keystones, stabilising the ...

Melting ice may cause dozens of volcanoes beneath Antarctica's colossal ice sheet to erupt and trigger a troubling feedback loop of environmental damage, scientists have warned. A new study by ...
