Ice Melt
A prominent ice dome in northern Greenland completely melted around 7000 years ago during a warmer period, according to new research. Scientists warn that similar temperatures could return by 2100 due to human-induced climate change, highlighting the ice sheet's vulnerability. This discovery provides crucial insights into potential future sea level rise.

A new study reveals violent underwater vortices beneath Antarctica's ice shelves that draw warm water to the surface, accelerating ice melt. These 'storms' are driven by the freezing and melting of sea ice, displacing protective cold water layers. The findings highlight rapid changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, threatening global sea levels.
