Glaciers

Two large rifts have widened near the edge of Pine Island Glacier on the West Antarctic ice sheet. If they continue to grow, they could release an iceberg four times bigger than Manhattan.

The cryosphere is critical to Earth and its inhabitants, but it is vanishing as the planet warms.

Italian officials have ordered the evacuation of mountain huts and closed down roads near the Planpincieux Glacier, which is at risk of collapse.

A new study shows that the ice at the bottoms of submerged glaciers could be melting 100 times faster than anyone thought.

"We know what's happening and what needs to be done," the haunting letter to the future reads. "Only you know if we did it."

Hidden beneath Greenland’s Ice Sheet like an enormous necklace of sparkly blue and oddly shaped beads, scientists have discovered 56 previously unknown and gem-like lakes.

Researchers have discovered the first-ever water sample dating to the end of Earth's last ice age, 20,000 years ago.

Decades of climate change have severely weakened 24% of western Antarctica's ice.

A glacier is on its deathbed, and this newly formed lake is the proof.

There's more nuclear fallout trapped in the world's glaciers than anywhere besides disaster sites like Chernobyl, new research finds.
