Explore cryoseisms—ice quakes triggered by rapid freezing of saturated ground—and glacial quakes driven by calving and basal motion. Learn how scientists distinguish these from ordinary earthquakes, what they reveal about climate change, and how ice-quake data can help monitor glacial lakes and hazards. Real-world examples from Greenland and Antarctica illustrate the power and peril of frozen ground shaking the Earth.
