Some regions of the continent have enough ice to push up sea levels by 15 metres if they all melt, but researchers don’t yet fully understand the consequences ...

A critical Antarctic glacier is looking more vulnerable as satellite images show the ice shelf that blocks it from collapsing into the sea is breaking up much faster than before and spawning huge ...

The ocean end of the Thwaites Glacier is being hit by various earthquakes, which can increase the sea levels rapidly if the ice collapses.

A robotic ocean float that scientists thought was lost under Antarctica’s thick ice has surprisingly resurfaced, bringing ...

Satellite video shows the ice shelf holding the Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica back from the sea is breaking up much faster than before. A study Friday shows the ice shelf has shrunk by one-fifth ...

A glacier in Antarctica is committing "ice piracy"—stealing ice from a neighbor—in a phenomenon that has never been observed in such a short timeframe, say scientists. This activity was previously ...
