Editor's note: This article was originally published on April 25, 2022. It has since been updated. Even as activists continue to face opposition—and even disdain—from climate deniers for attempting to raise awareness about the danger our planet is in, mounting scientific data shows that the world's ice is melting at a rapid pace. According to a study published earlier in 2021, global ice loss has increased rapidly over the past two decades, soaring from about 760 billion tons per year in the 1990s to more than 1.2 trillion tons per year in the 2010s. Meanwhile, a second, NASA-backed study on the Greenland ice sheet found that at least 74 major glaciers that terminate in deep, warming ocean waters are being severely undercut and weakened.

What would the Earth look like if all the ice melted? The answer is terrifying.

The Moon is a constant in the night sky, but all is not actually as it seems. It turns out that scientists have discovered the Moon is drifting away from Earth, and it’s changing everything we thought we knew about our planet’s relationship with its only natural satellite. It’s also having a very real impact on the length of days on our planet – albeit at an incredibly slow rate. By moving away from Earth over the course of millions of years, the Moon is simultaneously making the length of the average day longer.A study by a team at the...

A23a, the world’s largest iceberg, has been astonishingly stationary north of Antarctica. Despite entering the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, it has been trapped by a Taylor Column, a rotating water cylinder formed above a seafloor bump, the Pirie Bank. This iceberg, over twice the size of Greater London, has been spinning in place, thwarting its expected drift towards warmer waters.

The reality of what lies within our oceans has fascinated people since time immemorial, so it’s no wonder we’ve created countless myths about the watery depths.But step aside, Atlantis, scientists have discovered a real Lost City beneath the waves, and this one is teaming with life.The rocky, towering landscape is located west of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge mountain range, hundreds of metres below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, and consists of massive walls, columns and monoliths stretching more than 60 metres (200ft) tall.To be clear, it’s not the home of some long-forgotten human civilisation, but that doesn’t make its existence...
