Antarctica's tourism boom raises concerns about contamination and diseaseSoaring tourism to Antarctica, driven by climate change fears, raises concerns about contamination and damage to the fragile ecosystem. A r...
A 1986 Iceberg Is Disappearing at Last, Unveiling a Rare and Mesmerizing Blue GlowIceberg A-23A, once the largest on Earth, is nearing its end as vibrant aquamarine meltwater pools form on its surface. These blue spots, a...
‘Doomsday’ glacier set to melt faster, swell seas as world heats upNew research by British and American scientists indicates that tidal action under the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica will accelerate meltin...
Scientist finds new Antarctic ice sheet melting point. Will it help raise ocean levels and speed up climate change?A recent study reveals a new, alarming mechanism of Antarctic ice sheet melting, which current sea level rise models do not account for. A ...
Antarctic sea ice sets new record. Check its impact on global weather, climateAntarctic sea ice reaches its largest size during the colder winter months. However, this time, there was an unprecedented wintertime low.
Antarctic 'landfast' ice likely to reduce by end of century, important to include it in climate models, say scientistsAlong with documenting a recent dramatic crash in its extent, the first-ever broad review of Antarctic landfast ice highlighted its far-rea...
Antarctic glaciers flow faster in summers, exhibiting seasonal behaviour: Study
Antarctic sea-ice cover hits record low for 2nd year in a row, hitting it sooner than last year: Study
Study says the speed of ice loss is increasing, Earth losing 1.3 trillion tonnes a yearThe researchers noted that ice melt across the globe raises sea levels, increases the risk of flooding to coastal communities, and threaten...
East Antarctic ice melt could spell doomThe East Antarctic ice sheet is a 'sleeping giant' and the world is on track for massive sea level rises resulting from its melting due to ...
Antarctic ice sheet a 'sleeping giant': ExpertResearch showed that if carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere continue increasing as predicted, the giant East Antarctic ice sheet will m...
Loss of ice in Antarctica may raise global sea level by three metres: StudyIn the first study of its kind, researchers were able to gauge how levels of ice covering the land have changed over hundreds of thousands ...
- Melting of Antarctic ice shelves may double by 2050
Ice shelves are the floating extensions of the continent's massive land-based ice sheets.
'Melting of Antarctic ice shelves to double by 2050'The melting of Antarctic ice shelves will double by 2050 and by 2100, melting may surpass all predictions if greenhouse gas emissions conti...

Antarctica's collapsing ice shelves may disappear in 200 yearsA number of floating ice shelves in Antarctica are at risk of disappearing entirely in the next 200 years, as global warming reduces their ...
- Melting glaciers also behind sea-level rise
World's shrinking glaciers contributed to almost a third of the sea-level rise between 2003 and 2009, a new study has found.
Antarctic ice sheet warming faster than thought: StudyThe West Antarctic Ice Sheet, whose melt currently contributes substantially to sea level rise each year, is warming twice as quickly as pr...
