On Greenland’s coast, glaciers meet the sea in narrow fjords that have been carved over hundreds of thousands of years. Ice cliffs tower hundreds of meters high. At a glacier’s terminus, where those ...

A new study has revealed that the Greenland ice sheet is melting at an increasingly faster rate due to huge underwater waves that churn up warm seawater. A GreenFjord project research team unveiled ...

A landmass that was previously encased in the ice of Alaska's Alsek Glacier is now fully surrounded by water, forming a new island in the state, NASA satellite images reveal.

A recent video of an iceberg in Los Glaciares National Park in December shows the ice slowly flipping in the water until a bright blue color is revealed. The stunning video prompted many who viewed it ...

2024 is on track to be one of the warmest years, if not the warmest, in recorded history. That’s bad news for the world’s glaciers. Rising temperatures in the atmosphere and the oceans are causing ...

This figure shows the glacier front retreat rates between 1985 and 2023. The larger darker red circles indicate areas of greatest glacier loss. A new study has revealed the alarming extent glaciers ...

A large chunk of ice broke off in spectacular fashion from the Bruggen Glacier in southern Chile, recent video shows.This footage captured by Ralph Velasco shows the huge chunk crashing into the water ...
