subglacial system of rivers and lakes exists under the ice sheet. Lakes vary in size, with the largest being Vostok Subglacial Lake in the Antarctic interior that is comparable in size to Lake Ontario ...

Scientists used computer models to predict how water flows under the entire Antarctic ice sheet, which dictates where and how quickly glaciers move toward the ocean. The findings, published Dec ...

You can get in touch with Jess by emailing j.thomson@newsweek.com. Bizarre blue streaks dotted across an ice shelf in Antarctica have been spotted by NASA. These images, snapped by the OLI ...

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 ...

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 ...

Why Trust Us? The West Antarctic Rift System is home to over 130 volcanoes, many of which are locked away under thick layers of ice. A new study shows that glacial retreat coupled with isostatic ...

It is hoped that advanced analysis of this segment could help test previous theories about the behaviour of refrozen ice under the Antarctic ice sheet and reveal East Antarctica’s glaciation ...

Extreme precipitation events in Antarctica, which are mostly dominated by snowfall due to sub-zero temperatures, also include rainfall, according to new research.

New research has revealed a key link between melting Antarctic ice and increased volcanic activity, raising concerns about long-term impacts on global sea levels, the Daily Mail reports.
