The coming decades will likely witness a substantial acceleration in the melting of West Antarctica's ice shelves, even if the world cuts down on planet-warming emissions, warns new research.

Humans have 'lost control,' no amount of emission cut will slow down melting of Antarctica ice shelves: Study

A recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Leeds has uncovered a concerning trend in Antarctica, where over 40 per cent of the ice shelves have significantly diminished since 1997.

Antarctica, an icy expanse of land often hailed as one of the world's last pristine places, hides a 'dirty' secret. Recent research published in PLOS One in August has revealed that portions of the seafloor near Australia's Casey research station are as polluted as some urban waterways.

As the Earth heats up, sea ice in the Antarctic region has fallen to a record low this year. On Tuesday, scientists warned that as the global temperatures rise, there is no quick fix to reverse the damage done.

As ice in Antarctica melts to new lows, scientists warn 'no quick fix'

After more than a century of intrigue, scientists have discovered why Taylor Glacier in Antarctica bleeds 'crimson red' drool from its tongue. First discovered in 1911 by a British expedition to the continent, researchers had been confused up until now as to what could be the cause of bleeding from the Blood Falls.

Century-old mystery behind Antarctica's Blood Falls finally SOLVED

Scientists have yet again, sounded a warning over global warming and have said that melting ice in and around Antarctica is now threatening to dramatically slow deep-water currents in oceans across the world.

Melting ice in Antarctica may impact oceans 'for centuries': Study

A new study has claimed that ship traffic is threatening Antarctica's pristine marine ecosystem. The research has been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).

Ship traffic threatening Antarctica's pristine marine ecosystem, says study

Surprising images of Antarctica without snow emerged from Chile as the southern tip of the South American country near Antarctica experiences unusually high temperatures amid concern for global warming.

This is what Antarctica looks like without snow
