In truth, the ice pack is in near-constant motion: flexing and breaking, flowing and piling up as winds and currents push it around the Arctic. These forces compact ice, creating thick ridges that ...

The Arctic ice still harbors some sanctuaries. Among them, the "Last Ice Area" seemed to resist the upheavals of climate change. However, a new study suggests that it could disappear much faster than ...

The de-icing properties of polar bear sebum could fuel new innovations, scientists say, potentially unlocking alternatives to harmful “forever chemicals” used in ice-resistant coatings today ...

Ice clouds typically form at temperatures below −38°C (−36.4°F), but recent observations have shown their formation at higher temperatures in the Arctic. This phenomenon is closely tied to the ...

Polar bear fur contains a natural oil that prevents ice accumulation Study finds washed fur loses its ice-resistant properties, confirming the Discovery could lead to sustainable anti-icing coatings ...

The 'Last Ice Area' is expected to be the final place in the Arctic where ice persists all year round even as our planet warms up – but a new study suggests the region, and the ecosystem that relies ...

where polar bears regularly plunge into freezing waters to hunt seals, a remarkable thing happens: unlike your car windshield on a winter morning, their fur resists turning into a frozen mass.

With the hottest year in history just behind us, it is perhaps not surprising that the world's sea ice is in dire condition. Arctic sea ice has now dipped to its second lowest extent for January ...

ice sledding, horse-drawn wagon rides, a meet-and-greet with sled dogs and more. That’s all happening from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mich-e-kewis Park, 1302 S. State Ave. in Alpena. The local polar ...

The Arctic is one of the coldest and least populated regions on Earth, much of it covered by ice. But in recent years it has become one of the most important sites of geopolitical tensions — and ...
