These images, snapped by the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on January 1, show pools of pale blue meltwater peppered across the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. This melting comes despite ...
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 ...
Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are immense. Yet the ocean processes that control basal melting, and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimetres.
An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic ...

Antarctic ice sheet may be less vulnerable to collapse than expectedThe West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...
As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions. Anatarctica has 140 hidden volcanoes.
As the ice sheets melt, eruptions may become more common – and stronger If you picture Antarctica, a continent roughly the size of the US and Mexico combined, an endless white void probably ...
Sadly, the melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet shows no sign of slowing, in fact, due to a process known as the ice-albedo feedback—when less reflective ice surface decreases solar reflectance ...
This recent discovery sheds light on a complex interaction between ice melt and volcanic activity. As Antarctica gradually loses its ice ... their activity contained by the weight of the polar ice cap ...
