Rare Sea Smoke and Streaming Snow Phenomena Captured Near Pine Island Glacier
In October 2024, Pine Island Glacier displayed unusual atmospheric phenomena, including rare sea smoke and blowing snow. Captured by NASA's Landsat 8, these events were visible due to clear skies. Strong winds pushed warmer water to the surface, creating sea smoke, while blowing snow from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet influenced the glacier’s land...

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 ...

Scientists Find When And Why Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" Began Melting
Scientists have reconstructed the past life of Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" and discovered how it started retreating rapidly in the 1940s.

Antarctic Volcano That Ships Can Sail Into May Hold Clues To Life On Mars
On Deception Island in Antarctica, steam rises from the beaches, and glaciers dot the black slopes of what is actually an active volcano -- a rare clash of ice and fire that provides clues to scientists about what life could look like on Mars.

Watch: Close-Up View Of Snow Melting Under Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier"
According to geologists, if the glacier melts, the world's sea level might rise by 25 inches in the coming years.

Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" On Edge Of Disaster, Says Study. Here's What Will Happen If It Disintegrates
The scary new study has alerted us about the rapid disintegration of one of the biggest glaciers in the world.

NASA’s Satellite Imagery Shows Antarctic Ice Shelf Crumbling Faster Than Imagined
NASA’s recent study led by researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has revealed that Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice. This raises new concern about how fast climate change is weakening Antarctica's floating ice shelves and accelerating the rise of global sea...

"Stark Reminder": Glacier In Antarctica Named After Glasgow Climate Summit
A glacier in Antarctica has been formally named Glasgow Glacier in honour of this Scottish city hosting the high-level UN climate summit which formally opened on Sunday, kicking off two weeks of intense diplomatic talks on curbing global warming.

World's Largest Iceberg Breaks Off In Antarctica As Glaciers Retreat
An iceberg the size of the Spanish island of Majorca has broken off the coast of Antarctica, with measurements taken from satellites and planes confirming it's now the world's largest.

Antarctica's Glacier-Damming Ice Shelves At Risk
More than half the ice shelves ringing Antarctica that prevent huge glaciers from sliding into the ocean and lifting sea levels are at risk of crumbling due to climate change, researchers said Wednesday.

Researchers Claim Vast Water Bodies Found Below Antarctica Glaciers
Researchers have found vast bodies of water underneath one of the biggest Antarctica glaciers, giving crucial insight into the possible outcomes of global climate change, the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) has revealed.

Thousands Of Earthquakes Recorded In Antarctic As Ice Cracks
Scientists have recorded thousands of 'ice quakes' in Antarctica at night, a phenomenon that may help track glacier melting and explain the breaking of large ice shelves.

NASA Scientists Discover More Glaciers in East Antarctica Are Losing Ice
While East Antarctica has the potential to reshape coastlines around the world through sea level rise, scientists have long considered it more stable than West Antarctica.

UK, US Study Antarctic Glacier, Hoping To Crack Sea Level Risks
Britain and the United States launched a $25 million project on Monday to study the risks of a collapse of a giant glacier in Antarctica that is already shrinking and nudging up global sea levels.
