Scientists have uncovered a new threat hiding under the floating edges of Antarctica: fast moving, stormlike swirls of water ...

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ...

Researchers found Antarctic melt only delays - never prevents - the AMOC’s long decline, with major impacts on weather, seas, and coastlines.

When ice freezes and melts, it creates vortices that drag warmer waters from the depths to the surface, where they eat away ...

As the last Ice Age waned and the Holocene dawned, deep-ocean circulation around Antarctica underwent dramatic shifts that ...

Fast-moving ocean motions under the Antarctic ice act like storms and melt ice quickly. These forces could speed up sea-level rise.

A study published Monday finds parts of Antarctica's ice shelves are expected to melt in the coming years, no matter how much progress is made to slash greenhouse emissions and mitigate global warming ...

Deep under the frozen desert of western Antarctica, a hidden danger slumbers. Lurking beneath the massive, 1–2 kilometer-thick slab of frozen water lies an active volcanic rift, seething away in the ...

Antarctica's 'doomsday glacier,' Thwaites, is collapsing faster than anticipated, threatening catastrophic sea level rise.

This is not good news for the future of our planet.

A new review has revealed that the Southern Annular Mode (SAM), the Southern Hemisphere's most influential climate driver, is ...

The Ross Ice Shelf appears to be melting in previously unknown ways. This is an Inside Science story. Most of the worry over melting ice in Antarctica has focused on the rapidly melting western shore, ...
