The ice formations in the cave were formed by thawing snow which drained into the cave and froze during winter. [4] Since the entrance to the caves is open year-round, chilly winter winds blow into the cave and freeze the snow inside. In summer, a cold wind from inside the cave blows toward the entrance and prevents the formations from melting.
"Taklampa," one of the Digital Optical Modules of IceCube's hole #85. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is composed of several sub-detectors which is also in addition to the main in-ice array. AMANDA, the Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array, was the first part built, and it served as a proof-of-concept for IceCube. AMANDA was turned off ...
The Beardmore Glacier in Antarctica is one of the largest valley glaciers in the world, being 200 km (125 mi) long and having a width of 40 km (25 mi). [1] It descends about 2,200 m (7,200 ft) [1] from the Antarctic Plateau to the Ross Ice Shelf and is bordered by the Commonwealth Range of the Queen Maud Mountains on the eastern side and the Queen Alexandra Range of the Central Transantarctic ...
A giant hole in the earth is breaking open the land in Siberia, ... They found that about 14 Pyramids of Giza's worth of ice and permafrost had thawed at Batagay. The crater's volume increases by ...
The hole in Antarctica's ice is persisting despite being exposed to super-cold winds — but scientists aren't sure why. A mysterious hole nearly the size of South Carolina has opened in ...
It is several hundred metres thick. The nearly vertical ice front to the open sea is more than 600 kilometres (370 mi) long, and between 15 and 50 metres (50 and 160 ft) high above the water surface. [3] Ninety percent of the floating ice, however, is below the water surface. Most of the Ross Ice Shelf is in the Ross Dependency claimed by New ...
The gigantic pit is surrounded by a sheet of frozen carbon dioxide, which is dotted by more shallow circles that were left in the ice after sunshine caused parts of it to sublimate into gas.
A23a is a large tabular iceberg which calved from the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986. It was stuck on the sea bed for many years but then started moving in 2020. As of January 2025, its area is about 3,500 square kilometres (1,400 sq mi), which makes it the current largest iceberg in the world.
