This figure shows the glacier front retreat rates between 1985 and 2023. The larger darker red circles indicate areas of greatest glacier loss. A new study has revealed the alarming extent glaciers ...

Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. It is a form of ice ablation or ice disruption. It is the sudden release and ...

Northeast Greenland is home to the 79 N Glacier -- the country's largest floating glacier tongue, but also one seriously threatened by global warming: warm water from the Atlantic is melting it from ...
