Iconic Iceberg Nears Complete Disintegration in Antarctica
The B-22 iceberg, located in the Antarctic Peninsula, has been a popular tourist destination for years due to its massive size and unique structure. However, in recent weeks, the iceberg has undergone a significant change in its color, turning a bright blue hue. This change has raised concerns among...
Antarctica's Oldest, Largest Iceberg Turns Ominous Blue Color
The discovery was made by a team of researchers from the University of Leeds, who used satellite imagery and in-situ measurements to study the iceberg's transformation. According to their findings, A68a, which was once a massive 5,800-square-kilometer ice mass, has been slowly changing color over th...
The Icebreaker Reaches the Thwaites Glacier, and the Science Begins
The Thwaites Glacier, located in West Antarctica, is one of the most vulnerable glaciers to climate change. Its rapid melting has significant implications for global sea levels, making it a focal point for scientific research. In a major breakthrough, the icebreaker RV Saunders successfully navigate...
Ancient Clues Reveal Alarming Sea-level Rise Projections
The study, published in the journal Science Advances , provides new insights into the rate and magnitude of sea-level rise over the past 120,000 years. By analyzing fossilized coral reefs and sediment cores, researchers were able to reconstruct the Earth's sea level history and identify patterns tha...
Ship of Scientists Headed to Doomsday Glacier
The research vessel, the R/V S.A. Agulhas II, has departed from Cape Town, South Africa, carrying a team of 30 scientists and researchers to the Doomsday Glacier in Antarctica. The glacier, named 'Doomsday' due to its potential to cause catastrophic sea-level rise if it collapses, has been rapidly m...
