For nearly a decade, Leigh Stearns and collaborators aimed a laser scanner system at Greenland's Helheim Glacier. Their ...

New research finds that Hektoria, a grounded glacier in Antarctica, shrank with astounding speed in 2022 and 2023 ...

Glaciologists recorded a five-mile retreat in just two months on the Hektoria Glacier on the eastern Antarctic Peninsula -- a ...

Scientists uncover how a flat seabed triggered Hektoria Glacier’s record collapse, offering new warnings for Antarctica’s ice ...

Once the largest iceberg in the world, A23a may soon vanish into the vastness of the ocean. Covering about 4,000 square kilometres when it broke away, the iceberg - soberly named A23a - was once ...

Scientists have uncovered how massive underwater waves triggered by iceberg calving secretly fuel glacier melt in Greenland. Iceberg calving takes place when large sections of ice detach from the ...

A sudden, record-breaking glacier collapse in Antarctica is revealing how unseen forces beneath the ice could reshape the ...

Hektoria glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula lost nearly half its size astonishingly rapidly. Scientists have now discovered the reasons behind its rapid retreat and say it raises fears for sea level ...

When massive blocks of ice detach from glaciers, it is known as calving. This process is one of the main ways that glaciers lose mass, and has long been a dramatic visualization of changes in ice ...

The Hektoria Glacier in Antarctica has shrunk by 50 per cent in just two months, leading scientists to warn of disastrous ...

Antarctica is a land of extremes — icy, wild, and breathtakingly beautiful. From penguin watching and iceberg calving to exploring volcanic islands and diving into polar waters, it offers ...

Ocean tides can trigger city-sized icebergs to break off from Antarctic ice shelves, scientists said on Thursday, offering a potential way to predict these dramatic events in the future. It is not ...
