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

The Conger Shelf, a 460-square-kilometers mass of ice has disintegrated in East Antarctica, it was reported over the weekend. It was the first to break up in four decades of satellite observations.

At the margins of the Antarctic ice sheet, glaciers flow into the Southern Ocean, forming floating ice shelves. These ice shelves act as keystones, stabilising the ice sheet. They're also shrinking.

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 ...

Smaller calving events, not large icebergs, drive Antarctic ice sheet loss. Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate ...

"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 ...
