A 1550 square km (963 sq mi.) iceberg, designated A81 broke off Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf. A time-lapse of the 'calving process' was captured by satellites. Credit; ESA - European Space Agency ...

In 2022, when Antarctica's Conger-Glenzer Ice Shelf separated from Bowman Island, it was not even noticed for several weeks, until one of the researchers from this new study happened to look at a ...

All of the region’s ice shelves, including Larsens A, B, and C, impede the movement of Antarctic glaciers, which, if they float into the ocean, can hasten sea-level rise. The Larsen A ice shelf ...

Antarctica's ice shelves are melting more rapidly than previously known because of climate change, according to a new US Geological Survey report prepared in close collaboration with the British ...

Research reveals Antarctic icebergs may calve randomly, while smaller, frequent events drive significant ice loss linked to ...

13 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) shows a picture of a research vessel positioned near a tall, sheer-faced ice shelf and makes a series of claims about Antarctica. Its caption reads ...

Scientists have used satellite imagery over a 25-year period to document the "evolution" of the Conger-Glenzer ice shelf — about 1,200 square kilometres in size — which rapidly disintegrated ...

At NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, engineers are developing robots that can spend months gathering data beneath the massive ice shelves of the Antarctic.

A hot spot is starting to form along the coast of East Antarctica. An ice shelf that broke apart seemingly unprovoked a couple of years ago had been steadily weakening for 30 years, largely ...

After years of anticipation and monitoring, a giant iceberg, A-81, has broken away from the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica. Measuring 1,550 square kilometers ( 600-sq-miles), roughly five times the ...
