The study also found that during this event, the glacier's surface dropped by 0.6 inches.

Glaciers move in mysterious ways, speeding up and slowing down as the seasons change. However, as India Today noted, scientists still don't fully understand what natural forces govern their movement.

The Antarctic mystery was solved following "a serendipitous alignment of observations," the researchers said.

Recent studies suggest glaciers may exist beneath debris surrounding Martian volcanoes, with Hecates Tholus showing evidence similar to Antarctic glacial formations, according to Universe Today.

University of Idaho researchers have developed a mathematical model that simplifies the way scientists understand changes in glacier movement. This new approach demonstrates that diverse patterns of ...

Antarctica’s Hektoria Glacier may be considered small, but the amount of ice it has lost in record time is a really big deal. The glacier is about 115 square miles (or roughly the size of Philadelphia ...

We might be able to tell when a volcano is about to erupt with the help of another natural wonder: glaciers. Glaciers that are within 3 miles of a volcano appear to move nearly 50 percent faster than ...

Scientists studying pink granite boulders in West Antarctica have discovered a massive, ancient granite structure hidden beneath the ice for 175 million years. This offers clues about ancient ...

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University’s Neal Iverson and an international team of researchers are working to help quantify the single biggest uncertainty in predicting how much glaciers will contribute ...
