The gushing spout of warm water could rapidly melt the Antarctic ice shelf and lead to rising sea levels sooner than we think.

Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf may be under threat due to relatively warm water from the deep sea flowing towards the shelf. Is climate change to blame? When you purchase through links on ...

The West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...

An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic ...

parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet retreated. An ice core drilled from the ice sheet near the bordering Ronne Ice Shelf suggests that, contrary to some model reconstructions, the ice shelf ...

"Warm" water is flowing toward one of Antarctica's biggest ice shelves, which, if it melted, could dramatically raise sea levels. The Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS) extends over the Weddell Sea in ...

A, the world’s oldest and largest (about the size of Rhode Island), may hit South Georgia Island, home to vulnerable penguins and seabirds.

Ice core analysis from the Ronne Ice Shelf in West Antarctica indicates it did not melt during the last interglacial period, suggesting resilience to current climate change.

Megaberg A23a might be on the verge of running into South Georgia and surrounding islands in the South Atlantic. The result could spell trouble for wildlife on those islands, and A23a's movement is a ...
