The fourth Antarctic campaign of the Beyond EPICA-Oldest Ice project has achieved a historic milestone this week, by successfully drilling a 2800-metre-long ice core, consisting of ice from the ...

Have you ever wondered what Antarctica might look like without ice? Now, a new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed ...

A hidden danger may exist beneath Antarctica that could accelerate ice melt, a new study says. Antarctica is not just a passive, icy landscape, but a geologically active region with a complex ...

BEIJING -- Chinese scientists have successfully conducted an ice-cap detection experiment in Antarctica using a domestically developed ultra-wideband hyperspectral microwave radiometer ...

As the planet warms, Antarctica's ice sheet is melting and contributing to sea-level rise around the globe. Antarctica holds enough frozen water to raise global sea levels by 190 feet, so ...

Ice caps grow as snow falls on the top and gravity pulls them slowly towards the sea. There, they lose large volumes of ice via melting and calving of icebergs. If the ice cap growth keeps pace ...

Since Antarctica has had a large ice cap for around 34 million years, the remote islands around Iceberg Alley have seen countless icebergs pass by. South Orkney is one of these islands, and ...

In a March Science paper, Stanford researchers used machine learning to analyze high-resolution remote-sensing data of Antarctic ice movements for the first time. Their findings uncover key ...
