Scientists uncover how a flat seabed triggered Hektoria Glacier’s record collapse, offering new warnings for Antarctica’s ice and rising seas.
Glaciologists recorded a five-mile retreat in just two months on the Hektoria Glacier on the eastern Antarctic Peninsula -- a rate nearly 10 times faster than previously measured for a grounded ...
A quiet region at the eastern Antarctic Peninsula carries a narrative that can seem unnervingly personal if you have ...
Findings show the unprecedented speed of retreat is similar to the dramatic glacier retreats that occurred at the end of the last ice age.
The Hektoria Glacier in Antarctica has shrunk by 50 per cent in just two months, leading scientists to warn of disastrous consequences for global sea level rise.
When an Antarctic glacier was sparked into rapid retreat three years ago, it left scientists scratching their heads as to ...
More than five miles of glacial ice in Antarctica vanished in only two months, retreating 10 times as fast as the previous record, with possible implications for the stability of other glaciers and ...
