Antarctic ice shelves are shrinking mainly due to frequent small calving events, while major iceberg break-offs remain rare ...
A major ice shelf in Antarctica appears to have survived a period of hot temperatures more than 120,000 years ago, indicating that the West Antarctic ice sheet may not be vulnerable to complete ...
"The change of seasons causes surface melting far inland from the coastal ice front," glaciologist Christopher Shuman said.
Scientists have successfully analyzed more than 30 years of vital data on the thickness of landfast sea ice in Antarctica's McMurdo Sound, which will prove useful to measure future impacts of climate ...
Antarctica, often regarded as the planet's last true wilderness, harbors unique ecosystems that support extraordinary ...
An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic ...
The gigantic wall of ice is moving slowly from Antarctica on a potential collision course with South Georgia, a crucial wildlife breeding ground in the South Atlantic. Satellite imagery suggested ...
There is indirect evidence that, during the last interglacial period, about 125,000 years ago, parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet retreated. An ice core drilled from the ice sheet near the ...
Iceberg A23a has been a concern for scientists since it broke away from the Antarctic ice shelf in 1986. After remaining immobile for over three decades, the iceberg finally broke free in 2020 and ...
Scientists have mapped Antarctica’s ice-free ecosystems, highlighting their biodiversity and growing climate threats.
The trillion-ton slab of ice named A23a could slam into South Georgia Island and get stuck or be guided around it by currents ...
