Embark on an extraordinary adventure as we sail through Alaska's pristine waters to reach a massive calving glacier. Witness ...

That glacier calving wasn’t just a close call for Jobe. Last weekend, hundreds of Alaskans had flocked to the lake about an hour south of Anchorage to skate, bike, walk and sled the smooth surface.

The study also found that more than half of the glaciers (62%) undergo seasonal cycles in glacier calving—when large chunks of ice break away due to higher ocean and air temperatures.

The pace of glacier loss has been increasing in recent years as the planet gets warmer, but extreme calving events are still relatively rare, and they are difficult to predict. A new study has ...

The glacier calving was a near miss, said Luc Mehl, a local adventurer and outdoor educator who teaches classes about wilderness safety and training, including wild ice skating, among other topics.

This is the fifth largest calving event since 2000, Shuman says. There have been large calving events in 2001, 2007, 2013, 2015 and now 2017. "So that spacing tells you about six years between ...

The losses measured from calving outpaced natural ice shelf replenishment so greatly that researchers found it unlikely Antarctica can return to pre-2000 glacier levels by the end of this century.

I want to honor the remaining distance between us and Thwaites Glacier’s calving front––this place that many scientists suggest could make a catastrophic impact on global sea levels but that ...

The study also found that more than half of the glaciers (62%) undergo seasonal cycles in glacier calving – when large chunks of ice break away due to higher ocean and air temperatures. Lead author Dr ...

Based on the new findings, the Greenland ice sheet has lost roughly 5,091 square kilometers (1,965 square miles) of ice since 1985 due to its calving front continuing to retreat.
