Scientists explored the seafloor after an iceberg broke off the Antarctic ice sheet. They were shocked by what they found.

Earth’s frozen places — ice sheets, glaciers and permafrost — are melting: a clear sign of climate change and a planet ...

There are few frontiers in the world that can still be said to be unexplored. One of these terra incognita is the land ...

A new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed.

Ice loss in Greenland is already large, irreversible, and greatly accelerated after centuries of near stability. Though a ...

A study led by Durham University analyzed 8,000 3D surface maps of the Greenland Ice Sheet that were captured using satellite imagery. Researchers found that between 2016 and 2021, crevasses — or ...

A major role in this is played by the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, which is the second largest, second only to the Antarctic glaciers. Pros estimates scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion ...

The dark patches on the Greenland Ice Sheet are algae that bloom during the spring when the snow on of the ice melts. Near the bottom of the picture, you can see researcher Laura Halbach taking ...
