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

Further analysis could help test some previous theories about the behavior of refrozen ice under the Antarctic ice sheet and reveal more about East Antarctica’s glacial history. Importantly ...

The site showed a greater warming than is seen for the same period in other parts of Antarctica ... such as the Hercules Dome, and under various ice-loss scenarios. — Eric W.

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 ...

Further analysis could help test some previous theories about the behavior of refrozen ice under the Antarctic ice sheet and reveal more about East Antarctica’s glacial history. Importantly, peering ...

Antarctica is home to a peak shaped like a perfect pyramid — but contrary to what conspiracy theorists say, the mountain's four symmetrical faces were forged through natural processes.

The vehicle’s mission yielded key findings on glacial melt and deep currents before it disappeared under mysterious ...

A new study suggests the melting of Antarctica’s ice sheet, driven by the climate crisis, may increase volcanic activity under the surface. Antarctica is home to over 100 volcanoes, many of ...

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 ...

Buried under kilometres of frost are some 100 volcanoes in Antarctica, with only a few peaking above the ice sheets along the western coast. But the ice at the bottom of the world is melting ...
