Meet the World’s Largest Iceberg: A-76 Is Over 100 Miles Long
An enormous iceberg has calved from the western side of the Ronne Ice Shelf, lying in the Weddell Sea, in Antarctica. The iceberg, dubbed A-76,…

The Antarctic ice sheet was even more unstable in the past than previously thought, and at times possibly came close to collapse, new research suggests….
Antarctic ice sheet is more likely to remain stable if Paris climate agreement is met. The Antarctic ice sheet is much less likely to become…
Data collected using the MAR climate model developed at ULiège indicate that this could happen as early as the end of this century, or even…
New calculations show the rise due to warming would be 30% above forecasts. Global sea level rise associated with the possible collapse of the West…
Fractures from melting and run-off will indirectly lead to sea level rise. More than a third of the Antarctic’s ice shelf area could be at…
There were no records set in 2020-21, but the downward trends in polar ice continue. The amount of sea ice around Earth’s poles waxes and…
Researchers from the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Bern have, for the first time, reconstructed mean ocean temperatures over the…
Every year, our planet encounters dust from comets and asteroids. These interplanetary dust particles pass through our atmosphere and give rise to shooting stars. Some…
Researchers have confirmed for the first time that Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica could cross tipping points, leading to a rapid and irreversible retreat…
Research led by the University of Kent’s School of Physical Sciences has found new evidence of a low-altitude meteoritic touchdown event reaching the Antarctic ice…
Glaciers in West Antarctica are moving more quickly from land into the ocean, contributing to rising global sea levels. A 25-year record of satellite observations…
For the first time, an international team of researchers has used magnetic data from ESA’s Swarm satellite mission together with aeromagnetic data to help reveal…
Using a 25-year record of satellite observations over the Getz region in West Antarctica, scientists have discovered that the pace at which glaciers flow towards…
A large iceberg finally split from the Antarctic ice shelf, but another piece stubbornly hangs on. Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf finally calved a large iceberg…
A giant iceberg, approximately 1.5 times the size of Greater Paris [or about 10 times the size of San Francisco], broke off from the northern…
In early 2019, all eyes were fixed on the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica, where a massive iceberg, around the size of Greater London, appeared…
Two years after the Brunt Ice Shelf seemed poised to produce a berg twice the size of New York City, the ice is still hanging…
