Scientists Solve the Mystery of Why Antarctica Froze Before the Arctic

Antarctica’s first ice sheet may have begun with a geological head start hidden deep beneath the continent. Millions of years before thick ice spread across the Northern Hemisphere...

Antarctic ice sheet sees temporary mass gain: study

A new international study shows that Antarctica's ice sheet gained 695 billion metric tonnes of mass between 2021 and 2023, slowing down its long-term ice loss against the backdrop...

New Study Details Massive Recent Sea Ice Expansion And Cooling In The Greenland Sea

Scientists (Yilgan and Jónsdóttir, 2026) report annual mean sea ice extent in the Greenland Sea was 8.4 times greater in 2023 (2,403.6 km²) than in 2019 (287.6 km²). In the month o...

New Study Details Massive Recent Sea Ice Expansion And Cooling in The Greenland Sea

The recent trend for the Greenland Sea appears to be consistent with the trajectory enveloping much of the Arctic since the mid-2000s as reported by England et al., 2025. The post...

A Manhattan-Sized Ice Island Just Broke Off Greenland

Researchers say two more major calving events are likely. A massive slab of floating ice broke away from Petermann Glacier in northwest Greenland on August 4, 2026, creating a 76.4...

Greenland’s Ice Sheet Was Supposed To Be Rapidly Melting Away. It Hasn’t Been.

Greenland is halfway through its current (2025-2026) melt season. So far it’s not looking good for the alarmist narrative. Image Source: Polar Portal For perspective, there is more...

Greenland Glacier Break Creates New Ice Island the Size of Manhattan

The calving event marked the largest loss of floating ice in over a decade.

Greenland lost 105 billion tonnes of ice as darkening surface speeds melting

Massive Calving Episode in Greenland May Foreshadow More Rapid Ice Sheet Loss

Researchers studying a lake drainage event in Greenland determined that large amounts of meltwater drainage can lead to massive glacier calving events and accelerate ice sheet loss...

Antarctica is missing 2 million sq km of sea ice, scientists say the impact may reach far beyond the frozen continent

New research reveals Antarctica's significant, underestimated role in global warming. A study highlights a stronger link between Antarctic sea ice, cloud cover, and Earth's heat st...

Late Start To Greenland’s Summer Melt

At the time of year when the ice cap melt in Greenland should be in full flow, the opposite has been happening. As a result the ice cap has carried on growing. The post Late Start...

Scientists discover giant fan-shaped structure beneath Antarctica's ice sheet

Scientists have unearthed a colossal, fan-shaped geological formation hidden beneath East Antarctica's ice. This massive structure, dubbed the East Antarctic Fan-Shaped Basin Provi...

Antarctic Meltwater Is Making Glaciers Slide Faster Toward the Ocean

A new study uses boreholes drilled deep beneath Antarctic ice to investigate why the continent’s glaciers are accelerating. More than half a kilometer beneath an East Antarctic gla...

Antarctica Froze Millions of Years Before the Arctic. We May Finally Know Why

A new study presents a geological explanation for the East Antarctic Ice Sheet's head start.

Our Changing World: A precious piece of sediment and what it says about our future

A rare sediment core recovered from beneath Antarctica's ice is revealing how the West Antarctic Ice Sheet responded to past warm periods.

Algal Blooms: A ‘Dark’ Threat to Greenland’s Cooling Capabilities

Recent studies show that the deposition of nutrients on glaciers and ice sheets is causing rapid algal growth, reducing glacier albedo and warming the planet.

In the Canadian Arctic, an experiment aims to stabilize thinning sea ice

Indigenous peoples living in the Arctic rely on sea ice for many aspects of their lives, from hunting and fishing to travel and cultural practices. Owing to human-driven climate ch...

UK launches hi-tech mission to study Greenland ice melt

But because of the hazardous environment, where blocks of ice "calve" or fall off unpredictably, scientists have struggled to study the melt up close.

Polar Freezeover: Western Arctic Early July Sea Ice Exceeds 1980s Average

Highest level in 13 years… Higher than the 1980s average! The analysis by the Canada Ice Service (chart below) shows that on July 6, 2026. sea ice extent in the Western Arctic, inc...
