The Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf, which acts as a dam to slow the flow of ice off Antarctica into the ocean, has a series of fractures spanning almost the entire shelf that could break it up within five years.

Scientists said iceberg D-28 is among the largest to calve from Antarctic ice in decades, but is not caused by climate change. <br/>

The 2017 calving of the A68 iceberg from Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf was likely caused by thinning ice melange, the mix of windblown snow, iceberg debris and frozen seawater that normally acts to glue rifts together with larger blocks.

Two explorers began their expedition earlier this month to try to cross Antarctica on their own, without any support.

Scientists found that warm water is eating away the foundations under Antarctica’s so-called “Doomsday Glacier” at an alarm

A small maintenance crew has reopened the UK's Halley research station in the Antarctic, as it awaits a nearby massive calving event.

NASA scientists and ice sheet modelers, Ryan Walker and Christine Dow, traveled to a remote location on the coast of Antarctic to investigate how tides affect the movement and stability of the Nansen Ice Shelf, a 695-mile...

Nearly 50 square miles of ice broke off the Sulzberger Ice Shelf on the coast of Antarctica, resulting from waves generated by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011.<b<b<b<br/>r/>r/>r/>
