An Antarctic glacier has experienced a rapid retreat 10 times faster than previously measured, according to new research.

Traces of atmospheric nuclear tests conducted in the Pacific during the 1950s have been preserved in the ice of both Antarctica and the Arctic. A ...

Antarctica’s frozen stability is showing signs of unraveling under the pressure of global warming, with scientists observing increased surface melting, glacier acceleration and shrinking sea ice ...

As recently as the 1990s, when the Greenland Ice Sheet and the rest of the Arctic region were measurably thawing under the climatic blowtorch of human-caused global warming, most of Antarctica’s vast ...

As recently as the 1990s, when the Greenland Ice Sheet and the rest of the Arctic region were measurably thawing under the climatic blowtorch of human-caused global warming, most of Antarctica’s vast ...

The planet's warming climate is having effects in Antarctica that increasingly resemble those observed in the Arctic, meaning global sea levels could rise faster than previously predicted, Danish ...

Antarctica may have passed a climate tipping point of no return, scientists are warning, with mounting evidence that a sudden slump in sea ice formation since 2016 is linked to human-induced ocean ...

"What we're seeing is things like extreme heat waves, levels of temperature change in Antarctica we've never seen before and didn't expect to see. We're seeing the ice retreating at a rate we'd never ...

Scientists are sounding the alarm about sudden and dramatic changes unfolding across Antarctica. The icy continent, once thought to respond only slowly to climate shifts, is showing signs of rapid ...

New research has revealed that East Antarctica’s vast and icy interior is heating up faster than its coasts, fueled by warm air carried from the Southern Indian Ocean. Using 30 years of weather ...

Scientists have confirmed that East Antarctica's interior is warming faster than its coastal areas and identified the cause. A 30-year study, published in Nature Communications and led by Nagoya ...

Beneath Antarctica's vast expanse of ice sit hundreds of canyons, some up to tens of thousands of feet deep. These complex formations under a seemingly barren landscape play a significant role in ...
