A team of researchers including oceanographer Lia Siegelman of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography co-authored ...

As strange as it may sound, scientists seem to have found a strong connection between storms and Antarctic ice. The latter is ...

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 Pine Island Glacier recently spawned an iceberg over 300 sq km that very quickly shattered into pieces. This almost cloud-free image, captured on 11 February by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission, ...

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 satellite orbiting hundreds of miles above Earth recently captured rare images of an atmospheric phenomenon that makes Antarctica glaciers appear to be smoking. The wisps of "sea smoke" blowing ...

A vital glacier in western Antarctica appears to be smoking in a rare view captured by a NASA satellite earlier this month. The so-called “sea smoke,” isn’t actually smoke, it’s fog – and appears as ...

Scientists have looked back in time to reconstruct the past life of Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier” — nicknamed because its collapse could cause catastrophic sea level rise. They have discovered it ...

The Pine Island Glacier in Western Antarctica is not only one of the fastest-flowing ice streams in the Southern Hemisphere; over the past 11 years, four major icebergs have calved from its floating ...
