Stanford researchers have uncovered a critical missing piece in the complex puzzle of Antarctica’s ice movement, using ...

A massive iceberg, nearly the size of Chicago, has broken away from the George VI Ice Shelf and embarked on a wild journey ...

Incredible images from the NASA Earth Observatory show A-84 'calving' from the George VI Ice Shelf along the Antarctic coastline. The new berg was 'born' in mid-January and measures about ...

This crack had been dormant for decades, leaving the Brunt Ice Shelf relatively stable. However, in 2012, the crack started to extend, and by Halloween 2016, another major fracture—aptly named the ...

As the planet warms, Antarctica's ice sheet is melting and contributing to sea-level rise around the globe. Antarctica holds ...

A23a, trillion-ton mega iceberg the size of Rhode Island, drifting toward South Georgia. Scientists warn of its potential ...

Stanford researchers have integrated machine learning with high-resolution satellite and aerial observations to analyze the ...

Unlike many ice shelves, George VI has two ice fronts, which makes its calving behavior unique. Scientists believe that a combination of thinning sea ice and warming ocean temperatures played a role ...

As the planet heats up and Antarctica’s ice sheet melts at a faster pace, scientists warn of a steady rise in sea levels.

Researchers can also use these findings to better understand the stresses that may cause rifts or calving—when massive chunks of ice suddenly break away from the shelf—or as a starting point ...
