A widespread, record-breaking melting event occurred across the Antarctic throughout December, and now, photos captured by ...

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.

The Antarctic ice sheet is nearly twice the area of Australia and holds enough freshwater to raise global sea levels by 58 ...

In recent years, it has become painfully evident that Earth is losing ice. Greenland's ice is shrinking, at a rate of 270 billion tons per year. And Antarctica is losing its ice, too, at a rate of ...

However, he and other researchers say sea level rise due to melting ice still poses a major risk. “It implies there was not a complete deglaciation of western Antarctica, but it doesn’t give ...

While warming temperatures are driving a widespread loss of ice shelves, major calving events have not increased in frequency ...

When polar regions melt, the vaults are thrown open – “ancient water, carbon, and microbial life return to the surface to shape and change the world.” ...
