On 25 March 2022, it was reported that Conger Ice Shelf had collapsed around ten days earlier, as evidenced by satellite data. The collapse had not been anticipated by experts, although a gradual shrinking of the glacier had been observed since the mid-2000s, and a more rapid one since early 2020.
An ice shelf the size of New York City has collapsed in East Antarctica, an area long thought to be stable and not hit much by climate change, concerned scientists said Friday. The collapse ...

Iceberg A-74 is an iceberg that calved from the north side of the Antarctic Brunt Ice Shelf in February 2021. Its calving had been anticipated due to large ice rifts that opened up in September 2019 and spread in the Antarctic summer of 2020–21. The iceberg measured 1,270 square kilometres (490 sq mi) soon after calving.
As the world’s largest iceberg, the colossus A23a is of great interest to scientists, who have closely monitored the frozen block since it calved from Antarctica’s Filchner-Ronne ice shelf in ...
Greenland ice sheet as seen from space. An ice sheet is a body of ice which covers a land area of continental size - meaning that it exceeds 50,000 km 2. [4] The currently existing two ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica have a much greater area than this minimum definition, measuring at 1.7 million km 2 and 14 million km 2, respectively.
The last fully intact ice shelf in the Canadian Arctic has collapsed, losing more than 40% of its area in just two days at the end of July, researchers said on Thursday. The Milne Ice Shelf is at ...
