Glaciers around the globe are retreating. And they might be picking the pockets of their neighbors as they go. Using satellite data, researchers have observed a phenomenon called “ice piracy” occurring at an unprecedented pace among glaciers at the fringes of Antarctica: One glacier stealing ice from a neighbor as it flows toward the sea. Usually, when glaciers come into contact they merge and continue flowing together. They have also been recorded stealing ice from one another, but this is th

When viewed from space, a very rude glacier in Antarctica was caught stealing ice from its neighbor as it melted. In a new study published in the journal The Cryosphere, researchers from England's University of Leeds found that one West Antarctic glacier has been engaging in "ice piracy," essentially bulking up while its neighbors thin due to melting. Using satellite imagery taken between 2005 and 2022, the environmental researchers were surprised to find that although three glaciers — Kohler

The world has a trash problem. The amount of stuff we throw away is expected to nearly double, to 3.8 billion metric tons, by 2050. Reducing what we use would go a long way to addressing the issue, but let’s face it, we’re not very good at buying less either. That leaves recycling, which has its own problems. People routinely try to recycle dirty yogurt cups or toss plastic in the aluminum bin. It all makes recycling more expensive because, ultimately, someone has to manually pick out the unwan

EcoFlow EcoFlow makes sustainable, energy-conscious devices perfect for camping and, potentially, emergencies. The company just announced the launch of its third-generation portable air conditioner and heater, the Wave 3, and a Glacier Classic, a redesigned model of its portable refrigerator. I've had the Wave 3 for only a full day, so I'm not ready to write a review yet, but it certainly promises a lot. The Wave 3 and Glacier Classic are designed to become your camping companions, whether ten

is a deputy editor and Verge co-founder with a passion for human-centric cities, e-bikes, and life as a digital nomad. He’s been a tech journalist for 20 years. EcoFlow just announced improved versions of its Glacier refrigerator-freezer combo and Wave air conditioner-heater combo, two battery-powered off-grid appliances that can be recharged with the sun. The Wave 3 is more powerful than its predecessor, which means it can cool and heat larger spaces than the Wave 2 I reviewed last summer. Bu

Since 2000, the melting of Arctic glaciers has exposed some 1,500 miles of coastline, a study finds. For the research, published in Nature Climate Change, scientists tracked the movement of 1,500 coastal glaciers from 2000 to 2020, finding that retreating ice had unveiled hundreds of miles of coastline, largely in Greenland. Scientists say that retreating glaciers are revealing stores of precious metals, but they warn that newly exposed coastline, which has not been cemented with ice, is vulne

Gavesh’s journey had started, seemingly innocently, with a job ad on Facebook promising work he desperately needed. Instead, he found himself trafficked into a business commonly known as “pig butchering”—a form of fraud in which scammers form romantic or other close relationships with targets online and extract money from them. The Chinese crime syndicates behind the scams have netted billions of dollars, and they have used violence and coercion to force their workers, many of them people tra

A new group is aiming not only to further our understanding of glaciers but also to look into options to save them if things move toward a worst-case scenario, as my colleague James Temple outlined in his latest story. One idea: refreezing glaciers in place. The whole thing can sound like science fiction. But once you consider how huge the stakes are, I think it gets easier to understand why some scientists say we should at least be exploring these radical interventions. It’s hard to feel very

That would mark the start of a global climate disaster. The glacier itself holds enough ice to raise ocean levels by more than two feet, which could flood coastlines and force tens of millions of people living in low-lying areas to abandon their homes. The loss of the entire ice sheet—which could still take centuries to unfold—would push up sea levels by 11 feet and redraw the contours of the continents. This is why Thwaites is known as the doomsday glacier—and why scientists are eager to unde

The European Alps cover over 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) across eight European countries, and their cooler upper climes contain thousands of glaciers. Unfortunately, NASA satellite imagery recently captured 40 years of regression in the Alps’ largest chunk of ice, the Great Aletsch Glacier. The images—seen below, and taken in 1984 and 2024—were snapped by NASA’s Landsat 5’s Thematic Mapper and Landsat 8’s Operational Land Imager (OLI), respectively. The changes to the glacier’s length and widt

An international team of researchers has made an ominous discovery: our planet's glaciers are melting at even more alarming rates than previously predicted, in large part due to human-driven climate change. As detailed in a paper published in the journal Nature, the team estimated that ice loss accelerated from about 255 billion tons a year between 2000 and 2011 to 346 billion tons annually between 2012 and 2023. And the recent years from 2019 to 2023 represented the largest annual ice loss, av
