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

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 ...

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

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

In 2026, the Arctic winter sea-ice extent (annual maximum extent ,note 1) reached the lowest value since satellite ...

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

Melting sea ice is a global issue with far-reaching consequences. As the Arctic and Antarctic are losing ice faster than expected, experts are noticing damaging ripple effects. Sea ice forms on the ...

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.

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