Warm seawater encroaches on major Antarctic ice shelf, raising sea level concerns

The vast Antarctic Ice Sheet holds more than half of Earth's freshwater. In several places around the continent, the ice extends over the ocean, where it forms large floating shelves. Observations suggest many of these ice shelves are thinning as they melt from below, with implications for ocean dynamics, global sea level, and Earth's climate.

Cold Case: Scientific Sleuths Solve the Case of the Mysterious Giant Opening in Antarctic Sea Ice

Researchers have discovered the missing piece of the puzzle behind a rare opening in the sea ice around Antarctica, that occurred during the winters of 2016 and 2017. It reveals a key process that had eluded scientists as to how the opening, called a polynya, was able to form and persist for several

British research ship crosses paths with world's largest iceberg

Britain's polar research ship has crossed paths with the largest iceberg in the world -- a "lucky" encounter that enabled scientists to collect seawater samples around the colossalberg as it drifts out of Antarctic waters, the British Antarctic Survey said Monday. The RRS Sir David Attenborough,

A23a: World's biggest iceberg on the move after 30 years

A giant ice block more than twice the size of Greater London is on the move, years after its formation.
