Scientists that studied the Western Canada’s permafrost, which is more ice-and sediment-rich than others, discovered that this permafrost meltwater contains sulfuric acid.
Arctic sea ice isn't just threatened by the melting of ice around its edges, a new study has found: Warmer water that originated hundreds of miles away has penetrated deep into the interior of the Arctic.
The oldest and thickest sea ice in the Arctic zone north of Greenland is splitting in a never-before-seen event. For the second time this year, the frozen waters cracked open to reveal the sea beneath them.
Pakistan has more glaciers than any other country outside the polar region — more than 7,200. Data gathered over the last 50 years shows that all but about 120 of the glaciers are melting, due to rising temperatures.
The fate of one small Greenland town depends on which direction the winds blow. They're the only thing standing between the town of Innaarsuit and a 11-million-ton iceberg that floated dangerously close to shore.
Scientists attribute the loss to rising temperatures.
The findings from a major international climate assessment show Ice losses from Antarctica have increased global sea levels by 7.6 mm since 1992, with two fifths of this rise (3.0 mm) coming in the last five years alone.
So far, the Antarctic was seen as relatively stable. But a new study suggests that climate change is affecting the polar region on a much larger scale than previously believed.
A slush puddle nearly twice the size of California, Us appeared in Antarctica in January of 2016, according to a new paper in Nature Communications.
A new study shows that three of the Amundsen sea’s frozen gateways are melting away faster than we realised, raising the spectre of an ice sheet collapse that could trigger a metre of global sea level rise.
The Totten Glacier in East Antarctica has an unstable area that could collapse and contribute to more than two metres of sea level rise beyond what is generally predicted if climate change remains unchecked, researchers say.
