Scientists discover hidden 'plumbing' that's driving Antarctic ice sheet into the oceanMaps created by combining different models of glaciers and ice sheets reveal the way water is flowing deep beneath Antarctica's ice.

How is the ocean melting Antarctica? We're starting to figure it outAntarctica is melting, and crucial details are beginning to come into focus of exactly how it's happening.

'Warm water' from deep sea flowing towards one of Antarctica's largest ice shelvesAntarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf may be under threat due to relatively warm water from the deep sea flowing towards the shelf. Is climate change to blame?

Antarctica 'pyramid': The strangely symmetrical mountain that sparked a major alien conspiracy theoryAntarctica is home to a peak shaped like a perfect pyramid — but contrary to what conspiracy theorists say, the mountain's four symmetrical faces were forged through natural processes.

Antarctica ice melt could cause 100 hidden volcanoes to eruptMore than 100 volcanoes lurk beneath the surface in Antarctica. Ice sheet melt could set them off.

Massive Antarctic icebergs' split from glaciers may be unrelated to climate changeThe first analysis of extreme calving events in Antarctica finds no correlation with climate change, highlighting the significance of common, smaller calving events for ice loss and instability.

40-year-old 'mega' iceberg — the largest on Earth — is on the move after being trapped in a giant vortex for monthsThe "megaberg" A23a is on the move again after spinning in one spot for months on end. This is the ice slab's second great escape in as many years after being stuck in place for the first 37 years of its existence.

Antarctica's 'Deception Island' is one of the only places on Earth where you can sail into an active volcanoEarth from space A 2018 satellite photo shows the aptly named Deception Island, which was formed by a massive eruption 4,000 years ago and remains volcanically active today.
