Scientists Discover Ancient River Landscape Beneath Antarctic Ice Sheet
In the new study, researchers analysed the past of the glacier sheet, based on the land beneath the Aurora and Schmidt basins, between the Denman and Totten glaciers.

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.

Antarctica Warming Could Fuel Disastrous Sea-Level Rise, Study Finds
Temperatures not much warmer than the planet is experiencing now were sufficient to melt a major part of the East Antarctic ice sheet in Earth's past, scientists reported Wednesday, including during one era about 125,000 years ago when sea levels were as much as 20 to 30 feet higher than they are now

Antarctic Ice Loss May Raise Sea-Level By 3 Metres: Study
Current rates of climate change may trigger instability in a major Antarctic glacier, ultimately leading to a sea-level rise of almost three metres, a new study has warned.

East Antarctic Ice Sheet Stayed Frozen For 14 Million Years
The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) has remained frozen for the past 14 million years, according to researchers who used an innovative technique to date one of Antarctica's ancient lake deposits.
