From 2021 to 2023, ice mass in East Antarctica particularly showed signs of recovery. However, scientists still say it may ...

Many of us know Antarctica as a land of ice and not much else. But hidden beneath the miles of glaciers and ice sheets lies a ...

A glacier in Antarctica is committing “ice piracy” - stealing ice from a neighbour – in a phenomenon that has never been ...

Mass changes across the Antarctic ice sheet have been detected using satellite gravimetry, revealing significant ...

Melting glaciers 10,000 years ago sped up continental drift and volcanic activity, a process that could repeat as modern ice ...

During cold (glacial) cycles, ice sheets sprawled across Antarctica, Greenland and North America, locking away water and lowering sea levels. In warmer (interglacial) times, the ice retreated and ...

A new study finds Antarctica gained mass for the first time in decades, reversing previous loss trends and briefly offsetting ...

Two new studies of the North and South Poles remind us that the global climate system remains unpredictable, defying ...

New research suggests melting ice sheets are warming global temperatures which may speed up continental drift, creating ...

Microbial communities feeding on geothermal methane seeps beneath the Antarctic ice sheet could resemble life-supporting environments on frozen worlds in our solar system and beyond ...

As the world heats up, vast numbers of microbes frozen in vast amounts of ice are set to thaw. We must prepare ...
