As global temperatures rise, Antarctic ice will gradually start to loosen and fall into the ocean. With Bedmap3 as a guide, researchers can determine which parts of the sheet are likely to fall ...

The Antarctic ice sheet, which covers 98% of the continent, averages around 1.2 miles in thickness, with its thickest point reaching nearly 3 miles, the Australian Antarctic Program reports.

Containing around 750,000 cubic miles of ice – enough to fill Wembley Stadium nearly 3 billion times – the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is a rich reservoir of precious frozen freshwater.

Bedmap3 is the newest map showing what Antarctica will look like without ice. British Antarctic Survey. Scientists used data from planes, satellites, ships, and dog sleds to create the map and ...

Ocean tides can trigger city-sized icebergs to break off from Antarctic ice shelves, scientists said on Thursday, offering a ...

The map, called Bedmap3, gives a clear view of the towering mountains and deep canyons hidden by the ice sheets. It was compiled using more than 60 years of data from planes, satellites, ships and ...

Scientists have unveiled the most detailed map of Antarctica without ice, revealing its hidden mountains, canyons, and geological features. The new Bedmap3 dataset helps researchers understand ice ...

The study focuses on two masses of ice currently sitting on land: The Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. As temperatures rise, that ice is melting, flowing into the ocean and making sea levels rise.

Scientists studying the East Antarctic Ice Sheet discovered a 34-million-year-old river-carved landscape hidden under more than a mile of ice, The Brighter Side of News reported.The concealed ...

The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) has seen a reverse shift in land mass after decades of melting. Getty Images This graph shows the shift in ice mass between 2021 and 2023.

Naturally, the land beneath that massive sheet of ice is of great interest to the scientific community, both for its own sake and for the data we could glean about climate change and ocean levels.
