Pine Island Glacier, one of the fastest-shrinking glaciers in Antarctica, hastened its slide into the sea between 2017 and 2020, when one-fifth of its associated ice shelf broke off as massive ...

Antarctic ice shelves are shrinking mainly due to frequent small calving events, while major iceberg break-offs remain rare ...

The gushing spout of warm water could rapidly melt the Antarctic ice shelf and lead to rising sea levels sooner than we think.

Surface melting for the Antarctic ice sheet appears to have set a record for the 46-year satellite observation period on January 2, 2025. All areas of the Antarctic coast that generally see ...

An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic ...

While warming temperatures are driving a widespread loss of ice shelves, major calving events have not increased in frequency ...

The West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...

Measuring roughly 1,350 square miles (3,500 square kilometers) across, A23a is the world's largest and oldest iceberg ...

The trillion-ton slab of ice that scientists call a "megaburg" broke off from the Antarctic’s Filchner Ice Shelf in 1986.

The world's biggest iceberg is drifting toward a tiny south Atlantic island, potentially affecting the wildlife there, ...

Megaberg A23a might be on the verge of running into South Georgia and surrounding islands in the South Atlantic. The result could spell trouble for wildlife on those islands, and A23a's movement is a ...

Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate change on Antarctic ice shelves. It found that while there has been broad ice ...
