Study Reveals Greenland's Ice Completely Melted During Past Warm Period, Highlighting Future Risks
Recent scientific studies have revealed that a portion of Greenland's vast ice sheet completely disappeared during a naturally warm period about 7,000 years ago.

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.

Trump Is Eyeing Greenland's Oil And Minerals, But It's Difficult To Extract
Greenland is unlike where most people live. The climate is frigid. For much of the year, sea ice clings to the coast, making it inaccessible. An ice sheet, up to 2 miles thick, covers more than 80% of the island.

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.

How To Plan The Chadar Trek: Permits, Packing, And Safety Tips
Every winter, the Zanskar River transforms into a thick sheet of ice, forming a trail that locals have used for centuries. Read on.

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.

From Ice Sheets To Oceans: The Climate Tipping Points That Worry Scientists
A climate tipping point is a critical threshold where a small environmental change can lead to dramatic and often irreversible shifts.
