Glaciologists recorded a five-mile retreat in just two months on the Hektoria Glacier on the eastern Antarctic Peninsula -- a rate nearly 10 times faster than previously measured for a grounded ...

Antarctica’s Hektoria Glacier collapsed at record speed, revealing how quickly ice loss could drive sea level rise. A glacier ...

Researchers in Greenland used a 10-kilometer fiber-optic cable to track how iceberg calving stirs up warm seawater. The ...

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

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 ...

For nearly a decade, Leigh Stearns and collaborators aimed a laser scanner system at Greenland's Helheim Glacier. Their long-running survey reveals that Helheim's massive calving events don't behave ...

On Greenland’s coast, glaciers meet the sea in narrow fjords that have been carved over hundreds of thousands of years. Ice cliffs tower hundreds of meters high. At a glacier’s terminus, where those ...

Antarctic glaciers usually only retreat a few hundred metres a year, but a new study in Nature Geoscience found Hektoria receded by 8 kilometres between November and December 2022. That’s the fastest ...

All before us is ice. Stretching out for miles there's nothing but a vast barrier of white. A frozen sea, more than 30 stories tall, as menacing as it is beautiful. The engine falls silent and the ...

Scientists are keeping a close eye on the Antarctic ice shelf as recent activity could soon cause rapid melting and rising sea levels. The sea ice in Antarctica has likely met its minimum extent for ...

Suicide Basin, the birthplace of Juneau’s annual glacial outburst floods, sits about two miles above the terminus of Mendenhall Glacier. (Anna Canny/KTOO) Three scientists shuffled across the vivid ...

A recent video of an iceberg in Los Glaciares National Park in December shows the ice slowly flipping in the water until a bright blue color is revealed. The stunning video prompted many who viewed it ...
