Watch: Scientists Record First Video Evidence Of Shark In Antarctic's Freezing Waters
For the first time, researchers recorded a three to four-meter shark in Antarctic Ocean waters, challenging the belief that sharks do not inhabit these frigid depths.

NASA Spots Giant Antarctic Iceberg Turning Blue as It Nears Breakup
NASA scientists are closely tracking iceberg A-23A as vivid blue meltwater pools spread across its surface, signalling rapid decay. Once covering nearly 4,000 square kilometres, the Antarctic megaberg has shrunk to about 1,180 square kilometres and is fragmenting in warmer South Atlantic waters, offering valuable insight into how rising temperature...

Satellite Observations Record Arctic Sea Ice at Lowest Level of the Year
NASA satellites recorded Arctic sea ice at 1.78 million sq miles on Sept. 10, 2025—its tenth-lowest extent. Antarctic ice also stayed below seasonal averages. Scientists stress these lows reflect long-term climate-driven changes reshaping Earth’s polar regions.

10 Strange 'Dark Voids' Appear Over Remote Island Near Antarctica in Rare Satellite View
A rare NASA satellite image shows 10 sharply defined “dark voids” above Heard Island, a volcanic peak in the southern Indian Ocean. Formed by von Kármán vortices bent nearly 90 degrees by fierce westerly winds, the striking gaps pierce thick cloud cover, offering a vivid glimpse of nature’s intricate atmospheric patterns from space.
