A groundbreaking study unveils alarming revelations about Greenland's ice cap, losing 30 million tonnes of ice per hour, 20% more than previously estimated. The accelerated retreat, tracked through big-data synthesis, showcases the impact of the climate crisis, contributing 0.531 inches to global mean sea levels from 1992 to 2020.

Inside the depths of planets, where extreme pressures and temperatures reign, matter takes on some truly bizarre forms. While iron atoms are believed to dance within Earth's solid inner core, the gas giants Uranus and Neptune likely host an unusual type of ice, known as superionic ice, which exists as both a solid and a liquid simultaneously. This extraordinary form of ice was first recreated in laboratory experiments five years ago and its existence and crystalline structure were confirmed four years later.

The state of Earth's polar ice regions is raising alarm bells as Arctic sea ice reaches its sixth-lowest annual minimum extent, and Antarctic sea ice experiences a record-low growth. According to findings by NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), these developments hold profound implications for our planet's ecosystems and climate.

More than 3,000 billion tonnes of ice have been lost in the Antarctic Region over a 25-year period, which shows the disaster ahead in the coming years, according to a new study.
