The maps here show the world as it is now, with only one difference: All the ice on land has melted and drained into the sea, raising it 216 feet and creating new shorelines for our continents and ...

Scientists have quantified how much climate change has driven the population decline of polar bears living in Canada's Hudson ...

The world’s largest iceberg is still on the move and there are fears that it could be headed north from Antarctica towards the island of South Georgia.

The melting ice contributes significantly to the rise of the global sea level while rising land reshapes the landscape. Scientists are racing to understand how these processes interact and what ...

"Fast ice," also known as land-fast ice, is sea ice that remains attached to the coastline for at least 15 days, and in Antarctica, it plays a vital role. This type of ice shields the continent's ...

Sparsely populated and largely impassable, areas within the Arctic Circle are nevertheless becoming one of the most important strategic zones for global powers ...

Instead of icing over in December or January and melting in June, the sea freezes in February and starts to thaw in April. The loss of ice has shortened the hunting season, in a land where wild ...

University of Toronto Scarborough researchers have directly linked population decline in polar bears living in Western Hudson Bay to shrinking sea ice caused by climate change.

As National Geographic showed us in 2013, sea levels would rise by 216 feet if all the land ice on the planet were to melt. This would dramatically reshape the continents and drown many of the ...

The Arctic ice cap is composed mainly of sea ice, and not ice on land. Sea ice fluctuates with the seasons, expanding in the fall and winter and shrinking in the spring and summer. In September of ...
