Amidst the rapid melting of the planet's ice coverage due to climate change, one continent has lost an amount of grounded ice ...

Researchers have confirmed a subglacial river system channeling water more than 1,500 feet beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, where episodic surges flush into the ocean cavity under the Ross Ice Shelf.

The future of one of Antarctica's most iconic glaciers could be far more dramatic than scientists previously thought. Using ...

Antarctica, the planet's largest repository of meteorites, is beginning to hide them under the ice due to global warming.

Scientists may have finally solved the mystery of strange plume-like structures hidden deep inside the Greenland ice sheet. New research suggests they form through thermal convection—slow, swirling ...

NASA satellites detected a phytoplankton bloom around Antarctic iceberg A-23A as it melted, showing how icebergs can fertilize the ocean.

Melting glaciers and ice sheets are raising sea levels while the Arctic is poised to log one of its worst winters on ...

An article published recently in Nature Geoscience warns that Antarctica's ice masses have begun to experience a process scientists call "Greenlandification." The term refers to the unprecedented ...

A popular climate theory suggested that melting Antarctic glaciers would release iron into the ocean, sparking algae blooms that pull carbon dioxide from the air. New field data from West Antarctica ...

For the past three decades, glaciologist Helen Amanda Fricker has been investigating polar regions — the fastest changing areas on Earth. By studying the Arctic and Antarctic, she and other scientists ...
