Maps created by combining different models of glaciers and ice sheets reveal the way water is flowing deep beneath Antarctica ...

These ice shelves act as keystones, stabilizing the ice sheet. They're also shrinking. The ocean melts ice shelves from below—a process known as "basal melting." Increased basal melting has led ...

Increased basal melting has led to the thinning and retreat of the ice sheet in some regions, raising global sea levels . Ice shelves in Antarctica ice shelves act as keystones, stabilising the ...

Antarctica's ice shelves are melting more rapidly than previously known because of climate change, according to a new US Geological Survey report prepared in close collaboration with the British ...

These images, snapped by the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on January 1, show pools of pale blue meltwater peppered across the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. This melting comes despite ...

Beneath Antarctica's ice, an unsuspected danger looms. Global warming could awaken dormant volcanoes, triggering a chain reaction with unpredictable consequences. This recent discovery sheds light on ...

Melting ice may cause dozens of volcanoes beneath Antarctica's colossal ice sheet to erupt and trigger a troubling feedback loop of environmental damage, scientists have warned. A new study by ...
