It is one of the largest ice masses on Earth, covering an area of roughly 760,000 square miles. But the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is on the verge of a 'catastrophic' collapse, scientists have warned.

The Walls ice cream recall proves how fast trust can melt. Pete Gillett of Marketpoint Recall reveals the food recall ...

Many of these deep valleys had gone undetected because of the difficulty of collecting sonar data beneath floating ice ...

A new scientific atlas has just redrawn the map of Antarctica’s seafloor—and what it reveals could alter how researchers ...

A recent study unveils a vast network of 332 submarine canyons beneath Antarctica's ocean floor, far exceeding previous ...

It's summertime and that means trips in the heat with beverages and foods you'll want to keep cool. This kind of ice will keep the chill on for hours.

At the same time, these canyons also bring warmer waters in from the open sea up to meet the floating ice shelves - driving the ice melt, which is weakening Antarctica's inland glaciers.

This finding, based on high-resolution bathymetric data, redefines our understanding of the Antarctic seafloor’s morphology and carries profound implications for ocean circulation, ice shelf melting, ...

Strange structures up to 1,300 feet (around 400 metres) long have been discovered deep beneath the ice in Antarctica. The never-before-seen shapes were uncovered when a remotely operated vehicle ...

Warm ocean water seeps underneath the ice shelves, melting them from the bottom, and creating a kind of lubricated bed that allows massive glaciers to slide more quickly into the sea.

When scientists peered beneath one of Antarctica's floating ice shelves, they were surprised to find an upside-down landscape of peaks, valleys and plateaus.
