Scientists uncover how a flat seabed triggered Hektoria Glacier’s record collapse, offering new warnings for Antarctica’s ice ...

Glaciologists recorded a five-mile retreat in just two months on the Hektoria Glacier on the eastern Antarctic Peninsula -- a rate nearly 10 times faster than previously measured for a grounded ...

A quiet region at the eastern Antarctic Peninsula carries a narrative that can seem unnervingly personal if you have ...

The mind-blowing pace of retreat from the Hektoria Glacier is reminiscent of glacial retreats from the Ice Ages.

Antarctic scientists have documented the fastest retreat of a glacier in modern history, after it lost eight kilometres of ice in just two months, according to a new report.

Findings show the unprecedented speed of retreat is similar to the dramatic glacier retreats that occurred at the end of the last ice age.

Antarctic glaciers usually only retreat a few hundred metres a year, but a new study in Nature Geoscience found Hektoria receded by 8 kilometres between November and December 2022. That’s the fastest ...

New research finds that Hektoria, a grounded glacier in Antarctica, shrank with astounding speed in 2022 and 2023 ...

When an Antarctic glacier was sparked into rapid retreat three years ago, it left scientists scratching their heads as to ...

More than five miles of glacial ice in Antarctica vanished in only two months, retreating 10 times as fast as the previous record, with possible implications for the stability of other glaciers and ...
