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

Antarctic ice shelves are shrinking mainly due to frequent small calving events, while major iceberg break-offs remain rare ...

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 ...
