This process, for most glaciers, takes over a hundred years. Plucking – sometimes rocks get frozen to the base, sides and back wall of the glacier. The movement of the glacier pulls these frozen ...

What the visiting journalists weren’t told—nor were many of the soldiers living at the station, which could house up to ...

Even though "glacial" is commonly used to describe extremely slow, steady movement, a new study has found that glaciers speed ...

Its eerie red colour, ability to flow in freezing temperatures, and the resilient life forms within it make it one of ...

Where these glaciers meet the sea, they mainly lose mass through iceberg calving, a process in which large chunks of ice detach from the glacier and fall into the ocean. Understanding this process ...

Researchers have estimated the Antarctic “Doomsday” glacier—which has been predicted to cause a devastating rise in global ...

Co-author Jonathan Bamber, Professor of Glaciology at the University of Bristol, said: "Glacier calving is a poorly modelled and understood process that plays a crucial role in the health of a ...

New research has tracked the evolution of a glacier lake dammed by a glacier surge using satellite images, to help better understand its life cycle and the hazard it presents to nearby communities.
