Measuring roughly 1,350 square miles (3,500 square kilometers) across, A23a is the world's largest and oldest iceberg ...

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

The sample extended so deep that it reached the bedrock beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The core, nearly as long as 25 soccer fields end to end or six and a half times taller than the Empire ...

Researchers found 100+ volcanoes beneath Antarctic ice along the active West Antarctic Rift System, dating back to the dinosaur age. Study reveals potential "ticking time bomb" beneath West ...

Research, published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, suggests that mass unloading due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets (isostatic rebound) is triggering eruptions of greater frequency ...

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

University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka scientists have successfully analysed more than 30 years of vital data on the ...

Humans have been recording the weather for thousands of years. Antarctic ice, however, has been at it for over a million. An international team of scientists has extracted a 1.74-mile-long (2.8 ...

Calving, when chunks of ice break off from ice shelves to form icebergs, is common and increasingly influenced by climate change. For extremely large icebergs, this process is typically slow, often ...

A 130-foot towering wall of ice with a surface area larger than Rhode Island is slowly making its way toward a remote island near Antarctica. Imagine if the ice wall from Game of Thrones were mobile ...

Researchers ran 4,000 computer simulations to examine how the gradual loss of ice affects magma chambers buried under the Antarctic ice sheet. The findings indicate that as the ice melts ...
