It's been an overlooked region of glacial melting due to lack of data.

Pine Island connects the center of the western Antarctic ice sheet with the ocean.

This doesn't make it high on the idealio scale.

Sometimes, there's just no putting the paste back in the tube -- or the ice back in the ice sheet.

The Arctic won't be the same by the time our grandchildren see it.

Under current trends, we're looking at a one-meter rise in sea levels by 2100.

They've lost almost 80% of their historical volume.

Its a sign we'd better not ignore.

The climate crisis is showing its effects in Antarctica.

The Thwaites Glacier is 74.000 square miles and is vulnerable to climate change

Many unknown pathogens might lie inside the ice.

Even if we change our emissions now, we are committed to a lot of ice melt, says Prof. Kääb.

Ice takes a while to melt -- but melt it will, a new paper reports.

Mont Blanc is Western Europe's highest mountain range and is popular with hikers, climbers, and skiers.

The trade-off, of course, is an 80 cm-higher global sea level.

Yet another consequence of climate change.

It's a stern reminder that we are changing the face of the planet.

Currently, sea levels are 20 cm (almost 8 inches) above pre-industrial levels.

That's a LOT of ice.

Truly, no place on Earth has escaped pollution.

"Warm" ice is a problem.

Some rare good news.

It's one of the last barriers holding back a lot of water from hitting the ocean.

You can make cool science.

Ice might be melting much faster than we thought.
