NASA's mission to the Arctic uncovered something that wasn't supposed to exist. Beneath the ice lay what appears to be a long ...

A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater ...

The Arctic is the early warning system for climate change and the loss of sea ice is a clear sign it’s in trouble, scientists say. It should be reaching its annual maximum levels of ice at this ...

For Arctic ice, this means accelerated melting. Imagine an ice cube left out on a warm day; it will inevitably melt. The same ...

Since 1979, Arctic sea ice has declined by an average of 27,000 square miles a year, an area the size of North Dakota that melts each year and doesn’t grow back.

Like ice in a drink, Arctic sea ice keeps things cold – until it melts. Using the same principle, some scientists are investigating whether they can make sea ice thicker and better able to cool ...

The Arctic's "Last Ice Area" (LIA)—a vital habitat for ice-dependent species—might disappear within a decade after the central Arctic Ocean becomes ice-free in summer, which is expected to ...

Arctic fossils indicate ice shelf is not as stable as previously thought, scientists say. Central Greenland was once iceless, an analysis of fossils show. By Julia Jacobo. August 5, 2024, 3:00 PM.

The Arctic is warming four times faster than the world at large, causing ice to shrink by an area the size of Austria each year. Since the 1980s the volume of ice has fallen by 70% or more.
