Two miles of ice core on the shelf at our national ice core facility in Lakewood, Colorado. The WAIS Divide core from West Antarctica is a 3400m long (deepest US core, 2nd deepest ice core ever) 68,000 year old record of high resolution climate.

'Poised to disintegrate': Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' is set to lose its ice shelf this year
West Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" is on the brink of losing its ice shelf, further compromising the already melting ice mass and threatening to unleash devastating sea-level rises.

Admittedly, we should've seen ICE Santa coming when they introduced the Elf on the Shelf.
ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

New findings showing Greenland ice shelf collapse is accelerating due to sub-glacial estuary melting reveal another dangerous climate tipping point. Watching polar ice sheets destabilise while delaying emissions cuts is pure folly. Why ignore the warnings? 🤔 #ClimateCrisis
Greenland ice shelf weakened by estuary ahead of recent calving event
In August 2026, an iceberg the size of Manhattan broke away from the Petermann Ice Shelf in northern Greenland. It was the glacier's largest calving event since 2020. Long before the breakup, CIRES sc...

The Doomsday Glacier is losing its ice shelf this year. Researchers are very clear on this. The oceans will rise. Coastal cities will flood. We named it Doomsday, which suggests we had some inkling. Carry on.

The most striking scene of all, the ice shelf with its spectacular mantle of icicles catching the last golden light like an undulating chandelier reflecting on the water.

🚨We’ve broken through the ice shelf! Our crack team of hot water drillers have melted their way through 587.96m of the Ross Ice Shelf to reach the ocean cavity, providing crucial access to the climate secrets hidden in the seafloor below. Well-deserved ‘victory toasties’ all round! 🧪 📷Ana Tovey

Yesterday’s winter beauty at the beach. Curls of ice, dripping with icicles, gentle waves lapping the share. A sunset missing the usual pinks and purples, though gloriously golden.
