Long-lost 1960s aerial photos let Copenhagen researchers watch Antarctica’s Wordie Ice Shelf crumble in slow motion. By ...

Research involving the University of Liverpool has discovered a trend of increasing surface meltwater in East Antarctica. In ...

In 2022, an international team of scientists sent a 20-foot-long autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) named “Ran” to traverse ...

Scientists have made an astonishing discovery after finding lobster-like creatures beneath the depths of the Antarctic ice.

New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the ...

New research challenges the long-held belief that the Arctic Ocean was covered by a massive ice shelf during ice ages.

Most ice shelves in East Antarctica, however, increased in volume or stayed the same. The east, Davison said, is not as exposed to the warm water like the other side of the continent.

For decades, scientists believed the Arctic Ocean was sealed under a massive slab of ice during the coldest ice ages — but new research proves otherwise. Sediment samples from the seafloor, paired ...

Ice shelves’ net gain of 661 gigatonnes of ice mass between 2009 and 2019 does not negate the net loss, opens new tab of 2,440 gigatonnes of ice mass between 2002 and 2024.

Shelf ice along the Lake Michigan shoreline can be seen from the Portage Lakefront Park, but park officials have roped off walkways leading to that ice because of its danger.
