As strange as it may sound, scientists seem to have found a strong connection between storms and Antarctic ice. The latter is ...

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on ...

A new study led by scientists at the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Earth Observation Science offers the most ...

Ocean heat, not air temperature, may decide Antarctica’s fate as new models predict widespread ice shelf loss by 2300.

When sea ice melts and refreezes, it stirs vortices that pull warm deep water up, eroding Antarctica's shrinking ice shelves.

A team of researchers including oceanographer Lia Siegelman of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography co-authored ...

Fast-moving ocean motions under the Antarctic ice act like storms and melt ice quickly. These forces could speed up sea-level ...

Colin O'Brady is shuttling his 225kg sled forward in two loads. Other expeditions progress or prepare to begin.

Slush – water-soaked snow – makes up more than half of all meltwater on the Antarctic ice shelves during the height of summer, yet is poorly accounted for in regional climate models. Researchers led ...

An enormous floating ice shelf in Antarctica that has existed since the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago collapsed this month with staggering speed during one of the warmest summers on record there, ...

Warmer surface temperatures during summers can cause more ice on Antarctica ice shelves to melt into standing water ponds, then leak into cracks and increase the odds of collapse, according to a new ...

British Antarctic Survey has captured dramatic satellite and video images of an Antarctic ice shelf that looks set to be the latest to break out from the Antarctic Peninsula. A large part of the ...
