Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have found decades-old aerial photos that are helping them better understand ...

In March 2002, the Larsen B Ice Shelf collapsed catastrophically, breaking up an area about one-sixth the size of Tasmania.

A group of scientists who placed instruments on an ice shelf in Antarctica found that ponds of meltwater were causing the ice to flex and fracture. Though scientists had predicted the phenomenon, this ...

In 2002, an area of ice about the size of Rhode Island dramatically broke away from Antarctica as the Larsen B ice shelf collapsed. A new study of the conditions that led to the collapse may ...

The massive iceberg that broke off the Larsen C Ice Shelf may be a harbinger of a continent-wide collapse that would swamp coastal cities around the world.

The disintegration of the Larsen A shelf in 1995 and of the Larsen B shelf in 2002 were preceded by landfall of these plumes, called atmospheric rivers, from the Pacific Ocean.

For the first time since satellites started studying the continent, East Antarctica has lost an entire ice shelf.

The loss of this multiyear landfast ice is now raising concerns about how the glaciers around the Larsen B embayment will impact sea level rise.

For the first time, geological records have been used to reconstruct the history of Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica. The ice shelf is the largest remaining remnant of a much more extensive area ...

These are questions often asked about Larsen C, a huge ice shelf, twice the size of Wales, attached to the eastern edge of the Antarctic Peninsula.

They warned that this event would leave the ice shelf less stable and at risk of following the same fate as Larsen A and B, the latter of which disintegrated in 2002 after a large iceberg broke away.
