Scientists have mapped over 300 hidden submarine canyons beneath Antarctica, revealing ocean pathways that may speed up ice ...

A closer look at Earth’s history shows that melting ice sheets temporarily increased stratification in the Southern Ocean.

Antarctic Peninsula projections show accelerating ice loss, warming oceans and global sea level impacts tied to greenhouse gas emissions.

In the Antarctic Peninsula, precipitation is increasingly falling as rain rather than snow, with consequences for glaciers, ...

The study claims that Pine Island glacier's ice flow has increased in recent years, as the ice shelf in front of it is losing ...

Melting ice in Antarctica could trigger volcanic eruptions beneath the continent’s vast ice sheet, creating a slow but dangerous feedback loop, scientists warn. A new study suggests the melting of ...

The environment is changing rapidly around the melting Thwaites Glacier. Seals can collect data in waters that ships could ...

Deep under the frozen desert of western Antarctica, a hidden danger slumbers. Lurking beneath the massive, 1–2 kilometer-thick slab of frozen water lies an active volcanic rift, seething away in the ...

Recent efforts using computational modeling to understand how melting ice in Antarctica will impact the planet's oceans have focused on ice-sheet geometry, fracture, and surface melting—processes that ...

When volcanic eruptions make headlines, the images often depict fiery lava and towering ash clouds. But beneath Antarctica’s frozen landscape, volcanoes quietly shape Earth's climate in surprising ...

Chinese researchers were surprised to find growth in coastal glaciers in East Antarctica two years ago, prompting them to remind the scientific community to pay more attention to the region.

Researchers reporting in Nature Climate Change conclude that several Antarctic ice drainage basins may already be committed ...
