Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on ...

Ocean heat, not air temperature, may decide Antarctica’s fate as new models predict widespread ice shelf loss by 2300.

A study has revealed that the substantial retreat of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) approximately 9,000 years ago was driven by a self-reinforcing feedback loop between ice melt and ocean ...

Warm deep water driven by ancient meltwater feedbacks caused rapid ice-shelf collapse in East Antarctica 9,000 years ago. The ...

Researchers warn Antarctica is undergoing abrupt changes that could trigger global consequences. Melting ice, collapsing ice ...

Warmer surface temperatures during summers can cause more ice on Antarctica ice shelves to melt into standing water ponds, then leak into cracks and increase the odds of collapse, according to a new ...

A submersible revealed hidden ice structures under the Antarctic before vanishing, highlighting the complexities of ice shelf ...

The indentations are nests of fish called yellowfin notie, and they are not randomly scattered—rather, they appear to have ...

Slush – water-soaked snow – makes up more than half of all meltwater on the Antarctic ice shelves during the height of summer, yet is poorly accounted for in regional climate models. Researchers led ...

Beneath the ice of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea, scientists discovered a vast, organized city of fish nests revealed after the ...

ANTARCTICA -- An iceberg nearly the size of Greater London broke off the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica on Sunday according to the British Antarctic Survey. Scientists first discovered significant ...

British Antarctic Survey has captured dramatic satellite and video images of an Antarctic ice shelf that looks set to be the latest to break out from the Antarctic Peninsula. A large part of the ...
