Scientists have successfully analyzed more than 30 years of vital data on the thickness of landfast sea ice in Antarctica's McMurdo Sound, which will prove useful to measure future impacts of climate ...

Arctic daily sea ice extent continued to hover near record daily lows in January, with the ice edge well northward of its long-term average position in most areas. In contrast to the cold conditions ...

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

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 ...

Underneath it, there’s about almost a metre of sea ice, but it’s very slushy because it’s getting late in the ice season now,” says Mortimer, who has been coming to Antarctica for 33 years.

Iceberg A23a is massive, slightly smaller than Long Island. It is drifting slowly towards South Georgia Island and if it ...

In particular, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is grounded below sea level, so as sea level rises due to the melting ice, it becomes further submerged and accelerates retreat. Complicating matters ...

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

On a remote stretch of coastline in East Antarctica, a team of scientists is about to peer beneath the sea ice here for the first time. "Prior to our expedition, there had never been any marine ...
