thwaites glacier

Climate and ocean experts point to signs that even Earth's vast polar ice sheet has its limits, and that limit is shrinking.

Researchers are looking for ways to prevent warm ocean currents from approaching and collapsing glaciers at an increasingly rapid rate today.

Sif Island with a layer of brown volcanic granite and traces of creatures appear due to melting ice in Antarctica.

The huge Antarctic glacier, which is about the same size as the state of Florida in the United States, could be disastrous for the Earth if completely melted.

The work of Michael Wolovick - a postdoctoral graduate student of Princeton University promises to go further.

According to a recent NASA climate study, West Antarctic ice sheets are melting uncontrollably, glaciers are melting and flowing into the sea.
