Antarctica’s Melting Ice Could Awaken Hidden Volcanoes, Impact Climate Change
As Antarctica’s ice sheet continues to melt, scientists warn it could awaken over 100 hidden volcanoes beneath the surface. The loss of ice reduces pressure on magma chambers, allowing the magma to expand and potentially trigger eruptions. This could lead to increased volcanic activity, releasing gases and heat that may accelerate ice melt, weake...

How A Melting Iceberg Is Reshaping Marine Ecosystems
A massive iceberg, A-68, which broke off from Antarctica's Larsen C Ice Shelf in 2017, has created a distinctive marine environment during its four-year drift, according to recent scientific analyses.

Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' Is Heading For Collapse Sooner Than Expected
The scientists predict that Thwaites Glacier and the Antarctic Ice Sheet could collapse within the next 200 years.

Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier Is Headed for Collapse, Could Rise Global Sea Level Significantly: Study
Recent research on the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica shows alarming rates of melting that could significantly impact global sea levels. Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, including Rob Larter and Kiya Riverman, discovered that Thwaites’ retreat may lead to a rise of up to 10 feet in sea levels, threatening coastal ...

Breaching 2-Degree Goal Could Melt Massive Ice Sheet On Earth: Study
Breaching the Paris Agreement's temperature goal of two degrees Celsius could significantly melt the Filchner Ronne Ice Shelf in Antarctica, the second largest ice sheet on Earth, and could substantially contribute to raising global sea levels.

Antarctic Ocean Ice Melts To Record Low. How This Impacts Global Warming
The Antarctic Ocean area covered by ice has shrunk to a record low, exposing the thicker ice shelves buttressing Antarctica's ground ice sheet to waves and warmer temperatures, scientists reported Thursday.

Italian Vessel In Antarctica Reaches New Destinations As Polar Ice Melts
An Italian ice-breaker carrying scientists researching in the Antarctic has sailed further south than any ship has done before, the organisers of the voyage said on Tuesday, a further sign of how ice is retreating around the poles.

Due To Climate Change, Emperor Penguins Are Now A Threatened Species
The US government warned that the emperor penguin of Antarctica is in danger of going extinct because of rising global temperatures and a loss of sea ice.

Scientists Discover Huge River Hidden Under Antarctica
Glaciologists say that the river has the potential to substantially affect the way the glacial ice above it flow and melts.

Warm Water Headed Towards East Antarctic Ice Sheet Might Accelerate Global Sea-Level Rise
A recent study has revealed that warmer water in the ocean is moving towards the East Antarctic ice sheets and is likely to accelerate the rise in global sea level. This, according to experts, will damage the marine life and threaten human coastal settlements.

Sea Level Rise From Antarctic Melt 30 percent Higher Than Previously Anticipated
New study states if the West Antarctica Ice sheet collapsed, sea levels could rise by 10 feet

Antarctica Records Hottest Temperature Ever At 18.3 Degrees
A research base in the Antarctic has recorded the hottest temperature ever for the continent amid rising concern about global warming that has caused an increase in the melting of ice sheets around the south pole.
