Greenland Glacier shattered, a clear sign of climate change
Greenland's ice shelves are constantly shattered over time, a sign that climate change is having a negative impact on the ocean, causing sea levels to rise rapidly.

Huge warm water tank is
The Arctic ice sheet is not only melting because of climate change but is also affected by a giant warm water pool formed below the icy north of Canada.

Antarctic ice disappeared 2700 billion tons during the last 25 years
According to the study, Antarctic ice is melting at an alarming rate, with about 2,700 billion tons of ice disappearing in 25 years, from 1992 to 2017.

Why is Antarctica melting faster than expected is good news?
The earth warms, and as a result the ice in the poles is melting. We still know that, and are looking for ways to overcome it.

Perennial ice in the Arctic is disappearing
This further increases the likelihood of a prediction that by the middle of the century there will be no more ice sheets in the summer on the Arctic Sea.

Finding a solution to slow the speed of ice melting is surprisingly simple!
The work of Michael Wolovick - a postdoctoral graduate student of Princeton University promises to go further.

Admire the phenomenon of red algae causing the Arctic ice to melt quickly
Red algae cause red tape, or red snow, they exist in Greenland and Antarctica. In Alaska alone, red snow has melted nearly a fifth of the ice here.

The lands were submerged when the whole ice melted
Many cities, including Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam, may be submerged if the entire world ice melts because of climate change.

The Arctic might melt ice in the middle of the century
The melting sea ice will lead to weather disasters in most Northern Hemisphere countries and accelerate global warming.

Antarctic ice may have begun to melt due to El Nino from the 1940s
According to The Wall Street Journal, scientists have been interested in studying the changes of glaciers because their state is vital in predicting sea level rise.

Smith Glacier Glacier melted much faster than expected
Smith Glacier - a large glacier located in the West South Pole, has been thinning 0.5 km of thickness in the past seven years, much faster than scientists have forecast.

For the first time in 100,000 years, the Arctic ice can melt completely
The icy seas of the Arctic are slowly turning into a normal ocean when the ice is melting.
