Satellite data shows that Antarctic ice sheets have grown in size, prompting claims that climate change is in reverse or even ...

The ice sheet was hanging by a thread, and a slight shift in the temperature of global water levels could cause catastrophic damage to people.

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015 ...

The team had to drill some 2 miles deep to get enough ice to study a 50,000 year time span. After conducting an extensive ...

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet, near the southern tip of South America, is considered by scientists to be one of the most important potential contributors to sea level rise because of climate change.

The Antarctic ice sheet is melting in a new, worrying way not taken into account by current models of future sea level rise, according to a new study. CNN values your feedback 1.

Why the Antarctic ice sheet may be in more danger than we thought Ice sheets in Antarctica are melting faster than models predicted - likely undermined by warming water beneath them, new studies ...

The Antarctic ice sheet is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. It covers an area of almost 14 million square km and contains 30 million cubic km of ice. Around 90 percent of the fresh water ...

Together, the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets contain more than 99% of the land ice and over 68% of the fresh water on Earth. Sea levels are rising.

By 2100, they predict the East Antarctic ice sheet could contribute about 2 centimeters (0.79 inches) to sea level, which is much less than projections for the Greenland or West Antarctic ice sheets. ...

Using the UK's national supercomputer, researchers developed four future melting projections. In the best-case projection, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet melts three times faster in the 21st century ...
