Glaciers News

The majestic giants of nature, and glaciers subtly sculpt the ecosystems and landscapes they inhabit. Not only are these icy marvels incredibly stunning, but they also act as important markers of climate change. Here, we look at 13 of the most beautiful glaciers on Earth, each of which provides a different perspective on the calming impact of ice.

The expanding glacial lakes also pose a significant risk of outburst floods which may have devastating effects on the communities living downstream.

Due to Global Warming, glaciers are melting rapidly...the earth's temperature is increasing. The weather is changing all over the world including India. In some places there is drought and in other places unseasonal rains have made life difficult for people. Sea levels are rising every year, and all these problems have the same root... climate change. Jakarta city is the fastest sinking city in the world which has sunk 16 feet in 25 years.

Due to Global Warming, glaciers are melting rapidly... Due to these melting glaciers, the sea level has increased. If the sea level continues to rise in this manner, then by the year 2100, 5 countries will be submerged in the sea. Even though there are still 70-75 years left for these countries to be completely submerged, but gradually the effect of rising sea levels is becoming visible on these countries.

Switzerland, on hearing the name, beautiful white valleys come to mind. Which are present in films from tales to stories. But now the black shadow of global warming has fallen on the white plains of Switzerland and if it is not stopped, then by the end of this century, the white plains of Switzerland will be left only in the stories and this is not an imaginary threat.

Across the Jammu & Kashmir region of Northern India, the heat records are being shattered The glaciers in Kashmir region are melting at an unusual pace In July, at least 15 Amarnath pilgrims died in a cloudburst incident near the Holy Amarnath Cave triggering flash floods

The site uses protective blankets to reduce ice melting and wind erosion Resorts around the world are using similar strategies and many rely on snow machines

NASA will launch two new satellite missions and conduct an array of field research in 2018, the US space agency said on Tuesday.

Every 1 km you drive in your car will make 2 kg of glacier ice to melt after 2100.

According to researchers, 500 meters by car with a mid-range vehicle will cost one kilogram of glacier ice in the long run.

Researchers have created the most comprehensive, accurate and high-resolution relief maps ever made of Greenland's bedrock and coastal seafloor.  

This year marks IceBridge's eighth spring campaign of science flights over Arctic sea and land. 

The findings showed “the glaciers in Greenland are more sensitive to climate change than previously thought.

The water gains over land were spread globally but taken together, they equal the volume of Lake Huron, the world’s seventh largest lake.

About five km high in the Peruvian Andes, drones are helping scientists map glaciers and wetlands with 10-cm precision and gauge how climate change will affect the people who rely on those glaciers for water supply.

The rotation of the Earth's core holds a clue to understanding global sea-level rise, scientists believe.

The glacier area on the south slope of the world's highest mountain, in Nepal, has decreased 26 per cent since the 1980s, the report said.

 Here comes good news for penguin lovers. Shrinking glaciers are leading to the birth of more Adelie penguins in the East Antarctica region, researchers report.

A new NASA study has revealed that the mass gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.
