The flow of ice at Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica has sped up dramatically due to the disintegration of the ice shelf in front of it, and this could lead to faster sea level rise ...
Beneath Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf lies one of the least measured oceans on Earth—a vast, dark cavity roughly twice the volume of the North Sea.
The fastest way into the gaps between gigantic blocks of a broken-up glacier is by lowering instruments from above, through ...
Their research, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, shows that the ocean cavity below the ice is more dynamic than previously believed. Instead of remaining stable, the water ...
"The coldest water anywhere in the ocean is beneath the Antarctic ice shelves," Dr. Steve Rintoul, an oceanographer and ...
A 1550 square km (963 sq mi.) iceberg, designated A81 broke off Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf. A time-lapse of the 'calving ...
Some regions of the continent have enough ice to push up sea levels by 15 metres if they all melt, but researchers don’t yet fully understand the consequences ...
ANTARCTICA -- An iceberg nearly the size of Greater London broke off the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica on Sunday according to the British Antarctic Survey. Scientists first discovered significant ...
An ice shelf the size of New York City has collapsed in East Antarctica, an area long thought to be stable and not hit much by climate change, concerned scientists said Friday. The collapse, captured ...
