For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It's ...

Now the expedition’s troubles were almost over. Hillary had covered the route ... without disaster down a glacier on the edge of the ice cap. The Sno-Cats crossed the last crevasses in a ...

The authors simulated the history of the ice cap over the last 4000 years, from a period called the mid-Holocene, when summer temperature at high northern latitudes were two to three degrees ...

But despite these being specific local measurements for Renland, we can use these modelling parameters to simulate the ice cap over an entire ice age cycle, for example, and compare the results ...

Two ancient ice caps in Canada have completely melted — two years earlier than scientists predicted. NASA satellite imagery captured the disappearance of the St. Patrick Bay ice caps ...

Over the period of study, he says, the bottom of the ice changed from “rough and sticky,” meaning stable, to “slick,” meaning there’s water down there lubricating the ice cap’s movement.

For example, Mars’ current axial tilt is about 25°, but it has varied within a range of 18° to 48° over ... ice sheets. On Mars, the changes cause transfers of water ice from the polar caps ...

Sentinel-1a's new false-colour image of Austfonna Ice Cap (L). Ice drainage to the ocean has speeded up rapidly in recent years (R). The colours denote flow rates, from slow (dark blue) to fast (red).
