Researchers have collected the first multi-year record of ocean conditions hidden beneath Antarctica’s largest ice shelf, ...

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 ...

Scientists have used satellite technology to observe the collapse of a massive ice shelf in Antarctica, sounding alarm bells over the implications. According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation ...

Warm water from the deep Southern Ocean has been steadily creeping closer to Antarctica’s ice shelves over the past four decades, according to a Cambridge-led study that combined ship-based ...

A robotic float has measured the temperature and salinity from parts of the ocean never sampled before—underneath massive floating ice shelves in East Antarctica. For two and a half years, an Argo ...

Beneath the surface of the Southern Ocean, vast volumes of cold, dense water plunge off the Antarctic continental shelf, cascading down underwater cliffs to the ocean floor thousands of metres below.

Beneath Antarctica's vast expanse of ice sit hundreds of canyons, some up to tens of thousands of feet deep. These complex formations under a seemingly barren landscape play a significant role in ...

A large and fast-melting glacier in West Antarctica has sped up dramatically since 2017. This may be a sign that the floating ice shelf in front of it is no longer helping to hold back the ice. Pine ...
