About the size of Rhode Island, the iceberg known as A23a got stuck in an ocean vortex this summer, spinning in place for ...

Recent satellite images suggest that pieces of the remaining ice shelf are already preparing to break off, creating more, smaller icebergs that will join Iceberg A68. Moreover, a new crack has ...

Icebergs form when pieces of ice break off the end of an ice shelf or a glacier that flows into a body of water. This is called 'calving' and it’s a natural process that is responsible for ice ...

The Conger Ice Shelf disintegrated in 2022. Satellite data leading up to the collapse hint at worrying changes in a supposedly stable ice sheet.

”Larsen C may eventually follow the example of its neighbor Larsen B, which disintegrated in 2002 following a similar rift-induced calving event.” The long-growing crack in the Larsen C ice ...

The iceberg measuring 1,270 square kilometers came off the 150-meter-thick Brunt Ice Shelf in a process called “calving.” Scientists had been expecting a huge chunk of ice to break away for ...

According to a study published in the Friday, June 11, 2021 issue of Science Advances, the critical Antarctic glacier is looking more vulnerable as satellite images show the ice shelf that blocks ...

The shelf is essentially the floating extension of a number of glaciers that flow off the land into the sea. Losing bergs to the ocean is how these ice streams ... for it to break apart and ...

After months, the A23a iceberg has finally escaped the vortex near South Orkney Islands and is now drifting through the ...

The record-breaking retreat of Antarctic sea ice in 2023 has led to more frequent storms over newly exposed parts of the ...

A big chunk of ice has broken away from the Arctic's largest remaining ice shelf ... breaking year, with the ice sheet shedding some 530 billion tonnes. That's enough meltwater running off ...
