Glaciers that stand on flat areas melt at a higher rate than those on mountains, there is a fear that the Thwaites Glacier will soon reach a flat area and then its melting will accelerate

The time capsule that hides in the ice of Antarctica

An international research expedition is currently drilling in the depths of the Antarctic ice, with the aim of finding out why the ice ages significantly lengthened over a million years ago. Their findings may also help in understanding the rise in global temperatures that we are experiencing today

Antarctica's "doomsday" glacier: its collapse could cause coastal cities to flood and islands to be swallowed

Adding 65 cm to the global sea level will completely change the coastlines. To date, the sea level has risen by about 20 cm since 1900, which is already forcing coastal communities out of their homes and exacerbating environmental problems such as flooding, groundwater salinization and habitat loss.
