When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises the average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles. But ...

Antarctica's isolation and rich natural resources have made it a strategically important focal point amid growing great-power competition. Toomas Lukk explores how Estonia can contribute to the ...

While Antarctic meltwater drives rising sea levels, models show it also delays greenhouse gas-induced warming. That’s because ...

Our ocean float spent years adrift in the Antarctic ocean and beneath massive ice shelves. What it found will help us ...

A huge ice sheet known as the 'Doomsday Glacier' because of the devastating impact its disappearance could have on human civilisation is on the verge of collapsing. Rapid swirling vortexes forming in ...
