The recent rapid retreat of an Antarctic glacier could be unprecedented, a new study suggests, a finding which could have major implications for future sea-level rise. The researchers found that ...

Glaciers don’t usually retreat this fast,” said Adrian Luckman, professor of geography at Swansea University, remarking in ...

Ocean heat, not air temperature, may decide Antarctica’s fate as new models predict widespread ice shelf loss by 2300.

Jagged peaks that seem to have erupted from Earth’s imagination, oxygen so crisp it feels like your first-ever breath, and fish so fresh they practically jump onto your plate – that’s Seward, Alaska, ...

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

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 ...

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

Findings show the unprecedented speed of retreat is similar to the dramatic glacier retreats that occurred at the end of the last ice age.

Officers reached the site by helicopter to collect the remains and personal effects from the Ober Gabelhorn glacier.

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 ...

Hektoria Glacier’s sudden eight-kilometer collapse stunned scientists, marking the fastest modern ice retreat ever recorded ...
