Giant sea spiders, octopuses, ice fish, corals, and sponges—some likely to be hundreds of years old—were discovered in a ...

Melting on the Antarctic Ice Sheet for the 2024 to 2025 season began with above average melt extents in all regions, but melt ...

A “serendipitous” discovery offers new insights into how ecosystems can thrive beneath floating sections of the Antarctic ice ...

Around 14,500 years ago, toward the end of the last ice age, melting continental ice sheets drove a sudden and cataclysmic ...

This is what’s happening as the Greenland Ice Sheet shrinks. Covering the world’s largest island, the Greenland Ice Sheet is ...

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

A warmer Arctic means land ice — glaciers and ice sheets — melts faster, adding to sea level rise. The Greenland ice sheet already sheds around 280 billion tons of ice a year, enough to cover ...

Greenland’s ice sheet is the second-largest ice cap on Earth, and because of the planet’s rising temperatures, it’s melting. Human-induced climate change is intensifying atmospheric rivers ...

Scientists have discovered a “thriving ecosystem” of strange deep sea creatures on a newly exposed seafloor after an iceberg broke off near the Antarctic. At such a critical moment in US history, we ...

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 ...

As Earth heats up, glaciers and ice sheets are slowly disappearing. Climate change is causing extreme changes in ice cover levels — the rate of ice loss has steadily increased over the past 25 years, ...
