Glaciers contain priceless information about the Earth’s climate history. Ice Memory Foundation is leading a project to ...

The five tents sitting on the white expanse of the Clark Glacier look more like a winter camping site than a scientific field camp. Skis stick out of the snow. A pot on the propane stove holds melted ...

An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic did not melt during the last interglacial event, suggesting it could ...

Dressed in an orange puffer jacket, Japanese scientist Yoshinori Iizuka stepped into a storage freezer to retrieve an ice core he hopes will help experts protect the world's disappearing glaciers. The ...

An international team of scientists have drilled nearly two miles down into the Antarctic bedrock, extracting an ice core sample that's estimated to be at least 1.2 million years old, they announced ...

The team had to bring the core samples—dozens of cylinders of ice about 50 centimeters (20 inches) long—to the surface carefully. They then numbered and packed the samples so they could be carried ...

Have you heard about scientists who drill ice cores? Ice cores are samples taken from glaciers using special machines that go deep down into the glacier and take out solid tubes of ice and bring them ...

Tidewater glaciers are very large rivers of ice that flow into the sea. These glaciers sizzle and hiss as the slow-moving ice thaws in the seawater, sounding like food sizzling in a frying pan. These ...
