In recent years, glaciers near the North and South poles, as well as in mountainous areas, have been shrinking due to the effect of global warming, becoming a significant contributor to the recent sea ...

Iceberg calving is the process when huge chunks of ice break off from glaciers and crash into the sea. This process is a key factor in the current rapid mass loss of the Greenland ice sheet. Using ...

Ice in Antarctica flows to the coast along glacier-filled valleys. While some ice melts into the ocean, a lot breaks off into icebergs, which range in size from small chunks up to the size of a ...

New computer simulations reveal the shock wave created when a chunk of ice breaks off a glacier. This shock wave causes sea ice to shift and can even spur ‘widespread fracture,’ increasing the chances ...

Chilling footage has captured the moment a calving glacier sent tourists in Iceland rushing for higher ground on Sunday. Stephen Mantler, who owns and operates the tour company Háfjall, recorded the ...

A team of scientists has developed a new model for simulating both iceberg calving and the tsunamis that are triggered as a result. Their method can help improve hazard assessment in coastal areas and ...

A 60-year-old woman suffered a broken leg last Thursday when the tour boat she was on got too close to a calving glacier in Tracy Arm. A video posted on the website LiveLeak.com on Sunday shows a ...

Scientists have employed a new method utilizing tsunami signals to calculate the calving magnitude of an ocean-terminating glacier in northwestern Greenland, uncovering correlations between calving ...
