The world's glaciers are melting faster than at any time since records began, threatening catastrophe for hundreds of millions of people and their eco-systems. The details are revealed in the latest report from the World Glacier Monitoring Service and will add to growing alarm about the rise in sea levels and increased instances of flooding, avalanches and drought.

A new study from the University of Colorado at Boulder indicates that older ice is giving way to younger ice. While this may seem odd, it is drastically important when it comes to the conditions being suffered by our polar regions.

The Mingyong glacier, China's lowest, is retreating at a rate that astonishes scientists. The glacier helps feed rivers that deliver water to hundreds of millions of people — and no one knows what will happen as it continues to melt.
