New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the ...

On 28 November 1966, an American airplane flies over the Antarctic Peninsula just south of the southernmost tip of Chile. On ...

In 2022, an international team of scientists sent a 20-foot-long autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) named “Ran” to traverse ...

The ice shelf Sevestre was studying is called Larsen C, and it now has a massive 90-mile crack running through it. "The big rift is slicing the ice shelf from top to bottom," Sevestre says.

The loss of the ice shelf would accelerate Pine Island’s decline even further. The faster it flows, the more ice it spits into the ocean, raising sea levels.

An ice shelf in Antarctica nearly the size of Los Angeles disintegrated in mid-March within days of extraordinary warmth on the continent, scientists say.. The Conger Ice Shelf, spanning ...

A rapidly advancing crack in Antarctica’s fourth-largest ice shelf has scientists concerned that it is getting close to a full break. The rift has accelerated this year in an area already ...

Dr. Wille said the larger Larsen C shelf, which is still mostly intact and, at about 17,000 square miles, is the fourth-largest ice shelf in Antarctica, could eventually suffer the same fate as A ...

Most ice shelves in East Antarctica, however, increased in volume or stayed the same. The east, Davison said, is not as exposed to the warm water like the other side of the continent.

More than 40% of Antarctica’s ice shelves have shrunk over the past 25 years, a study published Thursday found, as scientists warn they’re losing volume with no sign of recovery because of the ...

Ice shelves are the part of ice sheets — a form of glacier — that float over water. Three of those shelves in North Greenland have "completely" collapsed, researchers said, ...
