Himalayan Glaciers Melting Twice As Fast, Threatening Billions, Claims Report
Himalayan glaciers that provide a vital source of fresh water for around two billion people are melting twice as quickly as in...

NASA Shares What Makes Ice-Covered Antarctic Lake Full Of Life
Due to the extremely cold climate, Lake Unter-See remains covered in ice year-round.

Final Chapter Of A23a? Colossal Antarctic Iceberg Nears Its End, Might Disappear Within Weeks
Disintegration of the world's oldest iceberg has implications for global sea levels and marine ecosystems.

Scientists Link Antarctica's Blood Falls To Glacier Changes, Reveal Hidden Water Movements
The study also found that during this event, the glacier's surface dropped by 0.6 inches.

What Is Antarctica's Blood Waterfall? The Mystery Of A Red Cascade Flowing From Ice
Antarctica's Blood Falls were first observed by Australian geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor during the Terra Nova expedition in 1911.

China's Fengyun-3D Satellite Finds World's Largest Iceberg A23a In Final Stage Of Disintegration
A23a, once the world's largest iceberg by area, broke away from Antarctica's Filchner Ice Shelf in 1986.

Scientists Discover What Lies Beneath Antarctica's Ice More Clearly Than Ever
Previously, scientists relied on ground-based or airborne radar to map the subglacial topography.

Time Capsule For Earth: Scientists Seal Ancient Ice In Antarctica To Save Planet's Secrets
Ice cores, compacted for centuries or even millennia, can shed precious light on Earth's ancient climate when studied by scientists.

New Study Shows Antarctic Waters Unleashed Ancient Carbon at the Ice Age’s End
New research shows that shifting Antarctic circulation after the last Ice Age released ancient deep-ocean carbon into the atmosphere. Using Southern Ocean sediment cores, scientists traced how expanding Antarctic Bottom Water mixed long-isolated, carbon-rich waters upward. The findings reveal a major but underappreciated driver of early Holocene wa...

Antarctica Nears Irreversible Climate Tipping Point, Scientists Warn
Antarctica is approaching irreversible climate thresholds, scientists warn. Rapid melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, record-low sea ice, and collapsing ocean systems could raise global sea levels by over 3 m. These interconnected changes threaten coastal cities and ecosystems, urging immediate emission cuts to prevent cascading global consequ...

Antarctic Winter Sea Ice Hits Third-Lowest Level In 47 Years
Antarctica's winter sea ice has hit its third-lowest peak in nearly half a century of satellite monitoring, researchers said Tuesday, highlighting the growing influence of climate change on the planet's southern pole.
-
Sea Ice To Ocean Currents, Antarctica Is Undergoing Abrupt Changes
Melting sea ice allows oceans to warm more rapidly, which melts more sea ice. Once triggered, they can be difficult or even impossible to reverse on timescales meaningful to humans.

Earth Is Spinning Faster, Says Study. This Could Force A Global Time Reset
In a rare and unprecedented move, scientists and world timekeepers are considering reducing one second from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as Earth's rotation speeds up.

From Antarctica To Brussels, Hunting Climate Clues In Old Ice
Ice dating back millions of years can be found deep inside Antarctica, close to the South Pole, buried under kilometres of fresher ice and snow.

"More Explosive And Frequent": Melting Glaciers Might Trigger Volcanic Eruptions Globally, Study Warns
As global temperatures rise and the ice melts, the loss of weight and pressure can trigger explosive eruptions.
