Blood Falls in Antarctica flows unpredictably with iron-rich, salty water. Microbes inside survive without sunlight.

Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more ...

The study fills critical knowledge gaps. Scientists make ominous discovery about volcanoes beneath Antarctic ice sheet first appeared on The Cool Down.

Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more accurate projections of sea level rise. The team modeled Antarctica's ...

The Thwaites Glacier is one of many bodies of ice that are melting, but this massive, Antarctic glacier is uniquely important when it comes to sea level rise. “We’re talking a ...

Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time. Why is a remote glacier in Antarctica that contains enough water to raise global sea levels by 1.5 metres melting twice as fast on ...

Antarctica just lost another huge piece of ice. The ice broke off of Pine Island Glacier, which is the fastest melting glacier on the continent. Scientists first saw a large rift in the glacier ...

Around 10,000 years ago as the ice age advance began to melt, glacial deposits or drift were left behind. These glacial deposits were of two kinds: Till - mixed or unstratified materials directly ...

Others have recently identified accelerated ice sheet melting in the western part of Antarctica. But glaciers on the eastern side, including the Shirase Glacier, have not been well studied and ...

British Army officer Captain Preet Chandi – known as Polar Preet – is expected to spend some time recovering at Union Glacier, the Antarctica base camp, before leaving the continent.

Recent findings suggest Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier is melting at a faster rate than previously believed, posing significant concerns for sea-level-rise projections. Utilizing observations from ...
