In recent years, it has become painfully evident that Earth is losing ice. Greenland's ice is shrinking, at a rate of 270 billion tons per year. And Antarctica is losing its ice, too, at a rate of ...
Surface melting for the Antarctic ice sheet appears to have set a record for the 46-year satellite observation period on January 2, 2025. All areas of the Antarctic coast that generally see ...
Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are immense. Yet the ocean processes that control basal melting, and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimetres.
Research, published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, suggests that mass unloading due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets (isostatic rebound) is triggering eruptions of greater frequency ...
Blue puddles of water were visible atop the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica after periods of record melting. Satellite data from early 2025 revealed extensive melting at Antarctica’s Amery Ice ...
Antarctica’s melting ice could activate hidden volcanoes Rising volcanic activity in Antarctica linked to climate change Reduced magma pressure as ice melts leads to eruptions ...
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 ...
