Northeast Greenland is home to the 79° N Glacier—the country's largest floating glacier tongue, but also one seriously threatened by global warming. Warm water from the Atlantic is melting it ...

Warming seas are carving into glacier that could trigger sea level rise. New research provides a startling look at how warmer oceans, driven by climate change, are gouging the West Antarctic’s ...

Due to extreme melt rates, the ice of the floating glacier tongue has become 32 % thinner since 1998, especially from the grounding line where the ice comes into contact with the ocean.

Antarctica's Thwaites glacier, nicknamed "Doomsday Glacier," isn't melting as fast as feared – but deep fractures in ice are taking the heaviest toll.

This is the fifth largest calving event since 2000, Shuman says. There have been large calving events in 2001, 2007, 2013, 2015 and now 2017. "So that spacing tells you about six years between ...

On Jan. 13, the iceberg, named A-84, broke off from the George VI Ice Shelf, a massive floating glacier attached to the Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet, according to the Schmidt Ocean Institute.

In January 2025, A-84 an iceberg the size of Chicago broke away from a massive floating glacier attached to the Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet. Now, scientists have discovered a thriving ecosystem ...
