Water seeping into fissures in Thwaites glacier in Antarctica, accelerating rise of sea levels.
British scientists have mapped cavities half the size of the Grand Canyon that are allowing warm ocean…
Ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica whose melting rates are rapidly increasing have raised the global sea level by 1.8cm since the 1990s, and are matching the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate…
Antarctica and Greenland's ice sheets are currently melting at a pace consistent with worst-case-scenario predictions for sea level rise, with serious consequences for coastal communities and the…
Italian scientists warn Marmolada has shrunk 80% in 70 years due to global heating.
The largest and most symbolic glacier in the Dolomites could vanish within 15 years because of global heating,…
A recent report confirms that ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, whose mass-loss rates have been rapidly increasing, are matching the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's worst-case sea-…
Number of glacial lakes rose by 53% in 1990-2018 to reveal impact of increased meltwater.
Glacial lakes have grown rapidly around the world in recent decades, according to satellite images that…
Collapse of shelves would accelerate loss of Antarctic ice sheet and increase sea-level rise.
Approximately 60% of Antarctica’s ice shelves could be vulnerable to fracture, accelerating the loss of…
A 4,000-year-old ice shelf in the Canadian Arctic has collapsed into the sea, leaving Canada without any fully intact ice shelves, Reuters reported. The Milne Ice Shelf lost more than 40 percent of…
The temperature of the Arctic matters to the entire world: it helps to keep the global climate fairly cool. Scientists now say that by 2035 there could be an end to Arctic sea ice.
The northern…
The 2020 melting season still has at least another month to gnaw away at Arctic sea ice, but it has already consumed a lot. In July, the ice cover spanning the Arctic Ocean reached a record-low…
I study the Arctic. The decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord is reprehensible – but we can’t give up hope.
When you stand facing an exposed edge of permafrost, you can feel it from a…
Just 15 years from now, the Arctic Ocean may be functionally ice-free for part of the year, a new study has found. Research published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change projects that due to…
Receding French ice leaves behind newspapers proclaiming Indira Gandhi’s rise to become PM.
Copies of Indian newspapers onboard an Air India jet that crashed into Mont Blanc in the 1960s have been…
Every summer, the Presena glacier in northern Italy is protected from the sun with huge reflective tarps.
A vast tarpaulin unravels, gathering speed as it bounces down the glacier over glinting snow…
To better predict climate change, scientists need accurate models which predict the behavior of many natural processes. One of these is the melting of Arctic sea ice, which requires expensive and…
The effects of global heating are in evidence everywhere across the islands of Antarctica – from penguin colonies to melting glaciers. The Guardian’s global environment editor Jonathan Watts…

Rifugio Guide del Cervino is a bar and restaurant atop the Plateau Rosa, a glacial ridge in the Italian Alps. Or at least, it was. Climate change is moving it inexorably toward Switzerland as the…
As the climate crisis takes hold, the effects are noticed most conspicuously at the extremes like the poles and the desert, where the harsh environments are drastically altered by a changing climate.
