The ice cores could offer clues about a period known as the Mid-Pleistocene Transition that has long puzzled scientists ...

Ancient river landscapes buried beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet have been uncovered by radar, revealing vast, flat surfaces formed over 80 million years ago before Antarctica froze. These hidden ...

The ice was extracted from the deep ocean in East Antarctica earlier this year and is thought to be around 1.2 million years ...

The remains of landscapes thought to have formed when ancient rivers flowed across East Antarctica have been discovered—and ...

Hidden landscapes under Antarctic ice may slow glacier flow. These ancient surfaces could change how we predict sea-level ...

A 12,000-year-old Alpine ice core reveals Europe once endured massive dust storms and sea salt surges—evidence of a radically ...

Evidence of algae growth and climate simulations reveal the Arctic had seasonal ice, not a permanent ice shelf, for much of the past 750,000 years. These insights challenge long-standing theories. For ...

The schism in the ice revealed several square miles of the island's surface, which held a large number of whale bones. Some ...
