All eyes are on the world's largest iceberg that is drifting towards a collision with an island after breaking away from Antarctica. The Antarctic ice cap has long been a source of fascination as ...

Ocean tides can trigger city-sized icebergs to break off from Antarctic ice shelves, scientists said on Thursday, offering a potential way to predict these dramatic events in the future. It is not ...

It is no strange sight to see icebergs break off of the Antarctic ice cap and drift away, like the gigantic sheet of ice that is currently heading for the island of South Georgia. But climate change ...

In 2021, researchers in Antarctica noticed giant cracks developing on the Brunt Ice Shelf, an enormous stretch of ice on the continent’s northwestern corner. Two years later, the fracture grew so ...

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 ...

This megaberg is the size of Rhode Island and weighs a trillion tons. It could ground to a halt near South Georgia, a critical wildlife haven. A drone image shows A23a floating in the southern ocean.

The calving was so drastic that it caused measurable earthquakes in the region. An Antarctic glacier has experienced a rapid retreat 10 times faster than previously measured, according to new research ...
