Antarctica’s Hektoria Glacier collapsed at record speed, revealing how quickly ice loss could drive sea level rise. A glacier ...

The Hektoria Glacier in Antarctica has shrunk by 50 per cent in just two months, leading scientists to warn of disastrous consequences for global sea level rise.

The calving was so drastic that it caused measurable earthquakes in the region. An Antarctic glacier has experienced a rapid retreat 10 times faster than previously measured, according to new research ...

A quiet region at the eastern Antarctic Peninsula carries a narrative that can seem unnervingly personal if you have ...

A glacier on Antarctica's Eastern Peninsula experienced the fastest retreat recorded in modern history—in just two months, nearly 50% of the glacier disintegrated. A new CU Boulder-led study, ...

An Antarctic glacier shrunk by nearly 50% in just two months, the fastest retreat recorded in modern history, according to a new study — and the way it retreated could have big implications for global ...

When an Antarctic glacier was sparked into rapid retreat three years ago, it left scientists scratching their heads as to what might have caused it. Hektoria Glacier retreated by more than 8km (5 ...

When massive blocks of ice detach from glaciers, it is known as calving. This process is one of the main ways that glaciers lose mass, and has long been a dramatic visualization of changes in ice ...
