Petermann Glacier is one of Greenland’s largest glaciers. In 2012, a “tongue” of ice broke off – releasing an iceberg about the size of Manhattan. Dubbed PII-2012, the giant iceberg measured ...

When massive blocks of ice detach from glaciers, it is known as calving. This process is one of the main ways that glaciers lose mass, and has long been a dramatic visualization of changes in ice ...

Antarctica is losing ice quickly, in part because of climate change. Massive calving events, such as the one that formed the Delaware-sized (5,800 square kilometers, or 2,239 square miles) A-68 ...

Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. It is a form of ice ablation or ice disruption. It is the sudden release and ...

New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the lead-up to three large-scale iceberg "calving" events in Antarctica, ...

Smaller calving events, not large icebergs, drive Antarctic ice sheet loss. Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate ...
