There are glaciers on every continent except Australia. They are found in the coldest places, in Polar regions and on mountains. Glaciers can form distinct landforms through erosion of the landscape ...

The footprints of long-gone glaciers and icebergs are now frozen in time in a stunning new collection of images of Earth’s seafloor. The Atlas of Submarine Glacial Landforms is a comprehensive, ...

Twenty thousand years ago, the land we live on now was under the leading edge of the last glacier of the last Ice Age. It takes effort today to imagine those hundreds of feet of ice over our heads, ...

An international team of scientists unveiled exceptionally well-preserved glacial landforms buried nearly one kilometer ...

During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), the Earth adopted a 100,000-year glacial-interglacial cycle compared to the previous 41,000-year cycle. Scientists have now discovered landforms created ...

Did you know that water covers almost 71% of the earth's surface ? The remaining 29% represents the area covered by land. Furthermore, over 96% of the water on earth is saline water in the oceans.

Glaciologists used sound waves to reveal Ice Age landforms buried beneath almost 1 km of mud in the North Sea. The results suggest that the landforms were produced about 1 million years ago, when an ...

The Himalayas deserve their Sanskrit name; they are indeed an “abode of snow.” Thick blankets of white cover long stretches, making the mountain range the largest non-polar ice mass in the world. Only ...
