Scientists confirmed Wednesday morning an iceberg as big as Delaware has calved from the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica. This slab of ice is about 100 miles long, 30 miles wide, and 600 feet thick.

The calving of one of the biggest icebergs ever seen is imminent. Scientists anxiously observing Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf have noted a dramatic increase in the speed that the ice moving out ...

It's hard to truly appreciate the effects of climate change. We hear of a two-degree jump over the course of decades, of dwindling animal populations, and of sea levels rising inches. These effects ...

The sound of ice cracking was faint at first. Then it grew louder and louder, increasing in frequency. Anchorage resident Jason Rouch Jr. — who was hiking at Portage Glacier on Saturday morning and ...
