Ben is challenging industry leaders to a sub-zero ski-trek across Iceland’s Langjökull ice cap to help raise money for the ...

The ice cap—the term refers to a type of glacier, of which “polar ice cap” is a subset—is of a kind that’s supposed to be very stable. “This kind of ice cap shouldn’t be displaying ...

The contribution of glaciers and ice caps to global sea-level rise is uncertain: they are incompletely counted and the calculation is challenging. A new estimate from the best available data ...

The contribution to sea-level rise from mountain glaciers and ice caps has grown over the past decades. A projection of their melting during the twenty-first century based on temperature and ...

The fate of the fictional glacier since the little ice age would have been less positive, as demonstrated by the very real ...

Ice loss from glaciers and ice caps is expected to cause more global sea rise during this century than the massive Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, according to a new University of Colorado at ...

When we think of glaciers, polar bears and penguins often come to mind. Finches are more associated with backyards than icy ...

Ice loss from glaciers and ice caps is expected to cause more global sea rise during this century than the massive Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, according to a new study. The researchers ...

Scientists have some novel ideas to save the ice caps. Here are the most out-of-the-box suggestions. Scientists say glacier engineering could be a potential stopgap as the Earth passes a critical ...

Climate change appears to be making some of Switzerland's vaunted glaciers look like Swiss cheese: full of holes. Matthias ...

A huge chunk of a glacier in the Swiss Alps broke off on Wednesday afternoon, causing a deluge of ice, mud and rock to bury part of a mountain village evacuated earlier this month due to the risk of a ...

Scientists say glacier engineering could be a potential stopgap as the Earth passes a critical climate milestone. Others aren’t as convinced. Stay up to date with notifications from The Independent.
