Crevasses play an integral part in the life cycle of glaciers, and as they grow they hold the potential to further accelerate ...

Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, ...

Greenland’s Ice Sheet is cracking open at the seams, literally falling apart at speeds indicative of the brutal and ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open at an accelerating pace, with crevasses growing larger and deeper due to the effects of climate change. A new study using high-resolution 3D mapping has reveal ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new ...

Ice seems temporary. It melts in a glass. It disappears at a sunbeam’s touch. It ebbs with the first relief of spring. But ...

As global warming accelerates, the increasing number of supraglacial lakes and the need to accurately measure their depths ...

The Thwaites Glacier is one of many bodies of ice that are melting, but this massive, Antarctic glacier is uniquely important when it comes to sea level rise. “We’re talking a ...

Explore snow caves and ice sculptures at France's largest glacier. Scenic train rides, hiking, and breathtaking views await ...

The increased crevassing, especially prominent in fast-flowing portions of the ice sheet, could lead to a feedback loop that accelerates ice loss from the glacier, which ultimately raises sea levels.

Maps created by combining different models of glaciers and ice sheets reveal the way water is flowing deep beneath Antarctica ...

The findings showed that, at the edges of the ice sheet where large glaciers meet the sea, accelerations in glacier flow ...
