Scientists are warning that superglacial ponds like this one are expanding to form lakes

Retreating glaciers over the last 14,000 years caused a population explosion among Adelie penguins – a trend that could continue as Antarctic ice shrinks further thanks to global warming.

In recent years, polar bears have become the lovable poster children for climate change in the Arctic.

The glaciers in the Himalayas are melting fast, agricultural heartland is drying up and the national capital New Delhi is choking on the world's filthiest air.

As glaciers melt and temperatures warm, more is at stake than the loss of ice.

NEW DELHI: A startling new report by Nasa scientists suggests that the Antarctic ice sheet may actually be expanding, growing every year, despite a warming globe!

MIAMI: Melting ice in West Antarctica is a major concern for global sea levels, and a key area may already be unstable enough to unleash three meters of ocean rise, scientists said Monday.

A key area of ice in west Antarctica may already be unstable enough to cause global sea levels to rise by 3m, scientists said on Monday.

Earlier this year, we learned some worrisome climate news.

Since 2004, Halji village, home of the oldest Buddhist Monastery in north-western Nepal, has suffered from recurrent glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). A sudden englacial drainage of a supraglacial lake, located at a distance of 6.5 km from the village, was identified as the source of the flood. The topography of the lake basin was mapped by combining differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) measurements with a structure-from-motion (SFM) approach using terrestrial photographs.
