An Antarctic glacier has experienced a rapid retreat 10 times faster than previously measured, according to new research.

The case began way back in 2002 with the extraordinary collapse of an ice shelf called Larsen B in the eastern Antarctic ...

Hektoria glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula lost nearly half its size astonishingly rapidly. Scientists have now discovered the reasons behind its rapid retreat and say it raises fears for sea level ...

causing a rare calving process. The new findings may help researchers identify other glaciers to monitor for rapid retreat in ...

An Antarctic glacier retreated faster than any other in modern history, reveals new research. Half of the glacier - five miles of ice - disintegrated in just two months, say scientists.

Hektoria Glacier on Antarctica’s Eastern Peninsula experienced the fastest retreat recorded in modern history—in just two months, nearly 50 percent of the glacier disintegrated. This video illustrates ...

Beneath the ice of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea, scientists discovered a vast, organized city of fish nests revealed after the ...

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 ...

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 ...

The growing crack in the Larsen C ice shelf is the most dramatic example of change in Antarctica right now. But it isn’t the continent’s only frozen feature changing in a warming world. Ice around the ...

Iceberg calving is a normal feature of Antarctica's ice dynamics, Jansen says. Typically, icebergs break away from glaciers ...
