Social media posts sharing a graphic comparing sea ice levels in the Antarctic on the same date 45 years apart misrepresent ...

Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more ...

Aside from the obvious problems of melting Antarctic ice, this problem of hidden volcanoes becoming active could spell ...

Maps created by combining different models of glaciers and ice sheets reveal the way water is flowing deep beneath Antarctica ...

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions. Anatarctica has 140 hidden volcanoes.

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

Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are immense. Yet the ocean processes that control basal melting, and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimetres.

"What if the iron stones were warming up to the point where they would actually melt the glacial ice beneath them and sink ...

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 ...

Scientists say glacier engineering could be a potential stopgap as the Earth passes a critical climate milestone. Others aren’t as convinced ...

“Atmospheric rivers” are bringing rain to the frozen slopes of the West Antarctic ice sheet, hitting the ice shelves that ...
