For decades, Antarctica seemed to defy global warming. Since satellites began monitoring the poles in the late 1970s, the ...

For decades, it seemed Antarctica might be insulated from rapid ice melting, but then sea ice began to decline dramatically.

Antarctic sea ice is shrinking faster than expected. New research shows how winds, ocean heat, and feedback loops caused this ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden Antarctic threat that could accelerate global sea level rise far faster than expected.

Global sea levels may rise faster than previously expected, suggests a new study in Nature Communications. The reason is that ...

Between 2002 and 2020, Antarctica lost roughly 149 billion metric tonnes of ice each year, according to NASA. View on ...

Arctic sea ice hit its second straight record-low winter peak in 2026, driven by unusually warm conditions in key regions.

Triple threat revealed: Researchers identified three linked processes behind unprecedented Antarctic sea ice loss since 2015, including wind-driven upwelling of warm water and persistent surface heat.

The change has been so extreme that vast areas of ice equivalent to the size of Greenland have melted, experts say ...

Photos from space show how the ice sheet in Greenland has changed as melting glaciers contribute to sea-level rise.
