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

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

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

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

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 ...

"The change of seasons causes surface melting far inland from the coastal ice front," glaciologist Christopher Shuman said.

Satellite data from early 2025 revealed extensive melting at Antarctica’s Amery Ice Shelf, highlighting its vulnerability. As ...

Research Reveals ‘Warm Water’ Flowing Toward One of Antarctica’s Biggest Ice Shelves Could Dramatically Raise Sea Levels ...

A team from the Polar Engineering Research Group at UCT has set off on their first field expedition to Antarctica.

Scientists from the University of Cambridge and British Antarctic Survey have used ice core records to draw new conclusions ...

The biggest iceberg on Earth is heading toward a remote island, creating a potential threat to penguins and seals inhabiting ...

Measuring roughly 1,350 square miles (3,500 square kilometers) across, A23a is the world's largest and oldest iceberg ...
