Glaciers and icebergs are distinct icy structures, differing in origin, structure, and behavior. Glaciers are massive, ...

Scientists have uncovered how massive underwater waves triggered by iceberg calving secretly fuel glacier melt in Greenland. Iceberg calving takes place when large sections of ice detach from the ...

An iceberg the size of Manhattan has cleaved off of Antarctica's rapidly melting Pine Island Glacier on the southwest coast of the continent. NASA released the new data showing the iceberg's birth on ...

A massive iceberg larger than Manhattan has broken away from the floating end of a Greenland glacier this week, an event scientists predicted last autumn. The giant ice island is 46 square miles (120 ...

WASHINGTON - An iceberg twice the size of Manhattan tore off one of Greenland's largest glaciers, illustrating another dramatic change to the warming island. For several years, scientists had been ...

Antarctica’s so-called Doomsday Glacier, nicknamed because it is huge and coming apart, is mostly thwarting an international effort to figure out how dangerously vulnerable it is. A large iceberg ...

To estimate the amount of ice sloughing off glaciers and falling into rising seas, scientists may simply need to listen. New research finds that sound recordings can not only capture the timing of ...

Envisat has been observing a rare event in the Arctic since early August – a giant iceberg breaking off the Petermann glacier in North-West Greenland. The Petermann glacier is one of the largest ...

A satellite view of the iceberg. The newly escaped B-22A iceberg is circled in red. An enormous iceberg that first broke off Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" more than 20 years ago is finally waving ...

There’s a beach in Iceland that doesn’t care about sunscreen or flip-flops. Instead of shells and seaweed, its ...

The Pine Island glacier "is one the fastest-retreating glaciers in Antarctica." Over the past 8 years, the Pine Island glacier is losing about 58 billion tons of ice per year. This "reveals the ...

The Hans Glacier in Svalbard, Norway, in August 2013. Recordings at this glacier reveal that different ice-loss events have distinctive acoustic signals. To estimate the amount of ice sloughing off ...
