Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on ...

Up to 59% of Antarctic ice shelves may be at risk of disappearing under high-emission scenarios by 2300, according to a comprehensive analysis of the effect of ocean warming published in Nature. This ...

Ocean heat, not air temperature, may decide Antarctica’s fate as new models predict widespread ice shelf loss by 2300.

Warm deep water driven by ancient meltwater feedbacks caused rapid ice-shelf collapse in East Antarctica 9,000 years ago. The ...

Around 9,000 years ago, East Antarctica went through a dramatic meltdown that was anything but isolated. Scientists have discovered that warm deep ocean water surged beneath the region’s floating ice ...

The case began way back in 2002 with the extraordinary collapse of an ice shelf called Larsen B in the eastern Antarctic ...

Explorer Colin O’Brady is surrounded by duffel bags and dozens of neatly labeled bags of dried ramen while sitting down for a ...

A robot found over 1,000 organized fish nests under Antarctic ice, revealing geometric breeding patterns and new clues about ...

The uniquely vulnerable West Antarctic Ice Sheet holds enough water to raise global sea levels by 5 meters. But when that will happen — and how fast — is anything but settled. However, not all ...

Scientists warn that up to 59% of Antarctica’s ice shelves could collapse by 2300, raising global sea levels by 32 feet and submerging cities like London, Miami, and Shanghai if greenhouse gas ...

An Antarctic glacier has experienced a rapid retreat 10 times faster than previously measured, according to new research.
