Hurricane forecasters rely on weather data collected and processed by Department of Defense satellites. That data will no longer be available as of Monday, June 30.

The ice cap’s core of so-called multiyear ice, which persists year-round, has shrunk by about 40 percent in four decades, kicking off a vicious cycle: as more ice melts, more ocean water is ...

So, the polar ice caps may be new enough that the crust at the poles is still sinking. And, if that's the case, it can tell us something about the crust and the mantle underneath it. But it's not ...

If you've ever looked at Mars through a telescope, you probably noticed its two polar ice caps. The northern one is made largely of water ice—the most obvious sign that Mars was once a wetter ...

This image shows a cross-section of Mars's north polar cap, derived from data acquired by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's Shallow Radar (SHARAD), one of six instruments on the spacecraft. The data ...

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, reports that temperatures at the North Pole are currently fifteen degrees above normal, accelerating the melting of the Arctic ice cap. This ...

The camp took its name from the USS Whale, a submarine that reached the North Pole in 1969 by diving under the Arctic ice cap and surfacing through the ice at the pole.

Originally taken on Sept. 1, 2008, and reshared this week, this image shows a dune field near the base of Mars' north polar ice cap, Planum Boreum.

This stunning image of dune fields near Mars' north polar ice cap, taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, showcases the impact of polar winds on the Red Planet's landscape.

Melting Arctic ice caps helps predict UK heatwaves, study finds - as scientist reveals this summer's forecast Researchers have suspected for a while that there is a link between weather extremes ...

Dramatic changes to the polar ice caps caused by climate change are being reflected in a new edition map of Antarctica and the Artic. Produced by cartographers at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS ...
