Thwaites Glacier is the size of Florida, and if it melted away fully, it would add 2 feet to global sea-level rise. But scientists say that could be avoided.

Most of the recorded glacial earthquakes were discovered along the coast of Greenland, the largest ice cap in the Northern ...

The clock is ticking. But low clouds have prevented helicopters from moving scientists and gear onto the continent’s ...

Part of Pine Island Glacier collapsed several years ago, forming an unstable inlet where no ship had sailed. Until now.

Instead, the most prolific period of glacial earthquakes at Thwaites, between 2018 and 2020, coincides with a period of accelerated flow of the glacier’s ice tongue towards the sea. The ice-tongue ...

There's evidence trapped in ancient ice that during warm periods millions of years ago, the ice-free Southern Ocean responded ...

Scientists are within minutes of the Thwaites Glacier, but shifting clouds and poor visibility are threatening a narrow ...
