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 ...

A new study has revealed the alarming extent glaciers have shrunk over the past 40 years in a global warming hotspot for the first time—and the biggest retreat has occurred in recent years. The ...

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 ...

1,000,000,000,000 tons. That’s one trillion, with a “t” at the start. And that’s how much A23a, aka the world’s largest iceberg, weighs. It spans across about 1,418-sqaure-miles, or about three times ...

A massive chunk of ice -- larger than the city of Paris -- has broken off from the Arctic's largest ice shelf because of warmer temperatures in Greenland, scientists said Monday. The massive chunk ...

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

Some places on planet Earth are inaccessible due to their difficult terrain. Experts studying planet life are not able to study them unless something reveals the underlying secrets. One such location ...

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

Northeast Greenland is home to the 79 N Glacier -- the country's largest floating glacier tongue, but also one seriously threatened by global warming: warm water from the Atlantic is melting it from ...

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 ...

This figure shows the glacier front retreat rates between 1985 and 2023. The larger darker red circles indicate areas of greatest glacier loss. A new study has revealed the alarming extent glaciers ...
