The glacier located near Sunlight Peak, Wyo., has been its icy self since the Yellowstone region's last major glaciation occurred some 20,000 years ago. The bulk of Sunlight's ice has remained ...

In 1952, 52 servicemen died in a plane crash in Alaska’s Chugach Mountains. The discovery of their bodies may have been aided ...

For scientists who study the Southern Ocean, a long-standing silver lining in the gloomy forecast of climate change has been ...

A seabed curtain to protect Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica would be difficult and expensive, but doing nothing could be even worse.

Continuous glacier melt has caused an old ski lift to resurface in the Dachstein Glacier, Austria. This rapid glacial retreat is a visible warning of how a warming Earth is reshaping the Alps.

Greenland is one of the fastest-melting cryosphere regions on Earth. In fact, scientists say the large-scale melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is irreversible, and it’s happening now at an ...

Scientists testing a popular climate theory in Antarctica found that melting glaciers deliver far less iron to the ocean than ...

Rutgers scientists found Antarctic glacier meltwater supplies far less iron than assumed, challenging a key theory on natural carbon dioxide removal.

When a chunk of ice breaks off a glacier, that’s called calving. That can happen if the glacier gets warm or some other force makes a piece split off. The end of the glacier – where the iceberg slides ...

Iron fertilisation has long been touted as a glimmer of hope amid rising emissions – but a new study has seemingly debunked ...

Athletes in Cortina say shrinking Alpine ice reflects accelerating climate change and raises concerns for Olympic venues, ...

It may not be pretty to look at, but it's certainly caught the attention of passerbys and scientists like Sinead Louise ...
