The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has released the most detailed map yet of what Antarctica looks like when you strip away ...

The ice cap is causing the ground beneath it to depress at a rate of up to 0.13 mm per year, indicating a cold and highly viscous upper mantle. This slow deformation suggests that Mars's interior ...

The team’s measurements indicate the ice cap is young—well more than any other large-scale feature seen on the planet. It’s most likely to be between 2 and 12 million years.

Together, the group has been able to determine the Red Planet’s interior structure and assess the age of its northern polar ice cap. The north pole of Mars is covered by a 1000-kilometre-wide, ...

The 2025 Ice Alaska Festival, home to the World Ice Art Championships, is in full swing at the Tanana Valley Fairgrounds, drawing international ice sculptors and local spectators alike. Despite ...

Ice caps grow as snow falls on the top and gravity pulls them slowly towards the sea. There, they lose large volumes of ice via melting and calving of icebergs. If the ice cap growth keeps pace ...

All 32 teams must be compliant with the league's salary cap by the start of the new league year on March 12. For some, the coming days and weeks might simply entail restructuring contracts and ...

Greenland is unlike where most people live. The climate is frigid. For much of the year, sea ice clings to the coast, making it inaccessible. An ice sheet, up to 2 miles thick, covers more than 80 ...

The cool conditions which have allowed ice caps to form on Earth are rare events in the planet's history and require many complex processes working at once, according to new research. A team of ...
