The north pole of Mars is slowly sinking under the weight of an ice cap that only formed within the past few million years. And, in the process, it's telling us something about what the planet's ...

The sea ice cap grows during the cold Arctic winters and shrinks when temperatures climb again, but over the last three decades, satellites have observed a 13% decline per decade in the summertime ...

A new study led by a team of scientists from the University of Leeds has revealed that the cold conditions that have allowed the formation of polar ice caps on Earth are exceptional events in the ...

One ice sheet in Greenland featured a mysterious apparition that formed in 2011 due to an incredible natural phenomenon.

The ice cap is causing the ground beneath it to depress at a rate of up to 0.13 mm per year, indicating a cold and highly viscous upper mantle. This slow deformation suggests that Mars's interior ...

Sea ice cover in both the Antarctic and Arctic remained far below average throughout February as global average temperatures ...

Together, the group has been able to determine the Red Planet’s interior structure and assess the age of its northern polar ice cap. The north pole of Mars is covered by a 1000-kilometre-wide, ...

Chinese scientists have successfully conducted an ice-cap detection experiment in Antarctica using a domestically developed ultra-wideband hyperspectral microwave radiometer, as reported by China's ...
