Once the Antarctic ice started melting at the end of the last Ice Age, it created a feedback loop that caused even more ...

In the past, when West Antarctica melted, there was a rapid uptick in onshore geological activity in the area.

It is one of the largest ice masses on Earth, covering an area of roughly 760,000 square miles. But the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is on the verge of a 'catastrophic' collapse, scientists have warned.

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are highly vulnerable to global warming and scientists are being increasingly worried about the possibility of large parts of the ice sheets collapsing, if ...
