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

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

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

Spinning vortices of water trapped under the Thwaites glacier ice shelf account for 20 per cent of the ice melt. They’re ...

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

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

Far beneath Antarctica’s ice and fringing seas, scientists have revealed a labyrinth of more than 300 hidden canyons that ...

An iceberg larger than New York City has broken off an ice shelf in Antarctica. The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) said in a press release Friday that its scientists first detected vast cracks in the ...

ANTARCTICA -- An iceberg nearly the size of Greater London broke off the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica on Sunday according to the British Antarctic Survey. Scientists first discovered significant ...

An ice shelf the size of New York City has collapsed in East Antarctica, an area long thought to be stable and not hit much by climate change, concerned scientists said Friday. The collapse, captured ...
