Beneath Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf is a hidden ocean – a vast, dark cavity roughly twice the volume of the North Sea.
A study published in Geophysical Research Letters in March showed that the Ross Ice Shelf slips daily, reported Washington University in St. Louis, in a story posted by SciTechDaily. According to ...
Ice shelves are part of the ocean, so they don’t affect sea level rise in and of themselves. They are constantly moving from a solid to a liquid already. But ice shelves buttress all the glacial ice ...
Scientists are warning of a catastrophic sea level rise if the ice in the Arctic melts, a very real possibility. The Arctic is the front line for climate change and the melting could have catastrophic ...

Mysterious ocean beneath Antarctica’s largest ice shelf stuns scientists with rare insights
Four-year record of ocean processes beneath the Ross Ice Shelf suggests water quality varies throughout the year within the cavity.
A critical Antarctic glacier is looking more vulnerable as satellite images show the ice shelf that blocks it from collapsing into the sea is breaking up much faster than before and spawning huge ...
The Getz Ice Shelf from 2016’s Operation Icebridge in Antarctica. According to a study published on Jan. 14, 2019, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Antarctica is melting more than ...
It is relatively common for ice shelves in Antarctica to spawn icebergs. It is less common for an ice shelf to completely disintegrate. In March 2022, an ice shelf in East Antarctica did both. The ...
ST. JOSEPH, MI (WSBT) — The ice shelf on Lake Michigan brings both beauty and danger. However, officials urge visitors at the beach to be aware. While it may look like a continuous sheet of ice, in ...
