Evidence In Antarctic Ice Suggests That Earth Passing Through Supernova Debris, Says Study
The researchers analysed 295 kilograms of ice extracted from the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA).

NASA Captures Rare Spiral-Shaped Cloud Formations Near Remote Antarctic Island
The few studies conducted on the island have mainly focused on geology, biodiversity, and climate history preserved in the ice.

Hantavirus Update: Argentina's Hot Spot For Antarctic Cruises Insists It Didn't Cause Outbreak
Officials in Argentina's Tierra del Fuego province are challenging the idea that the ongoing deadly hantavirus outbreak may have emerged there, pushing instead for investigations into the other Argentine provinces that passengers visited before board

WHO Says Risk To Public Is Low After Hantavirus Cases In Atlantic Ship
The cruise left Argentina about three weeks ago with around 150 passengers and stopped in the Antarctic and other places on its way to Cape Verde.

UN Confirms 2015-2025 As Hottest Decade On Record
An increase in the concentrations of greenhouse gases "to their highest level in at least 800,000 years" has "upset this equilibrium," says the WMO.

NASA Shares What Makes Ice-Covered Antarctic Lake Full Of Life
Due to the extremely cold climate, Lake Unter-See remains covered in ice year-round.

Final Chapter Of A23a? Colossal Antarctic Iceberg Nears Its End, Might Disappear Within Weeks
Disintegration of the world's oldest iceberg has implications for global sea levels and marine ecosystems.

Record-Breaking Drill Beneath Antarctic Ice Reveals Ancient Open Ocean and Future Sea Level Risks
Scientists drilled deeper than ever beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and found sediment and marine remains showing the area was once open ocean. The 23-million-year record offers key clues about past melting, helping researchers better predict how quickly the ice sheet could retreat and affect future global sea levels.

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.

Scientists Plan To Build 150-Meter Wall To Mitigate "Doomsday Glacier" Melting Crisis
Experts have acknowledged significant technical challenges, including the wall's survival in extreme Antarctic conditions and long-term ocean exposure.

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...

New Study Shows Antarctic Waters Unleashed Ancient Carbon at the Ice Age’s End
New research shows that shifting Antarctic circulation after the last Ice Age released ancient deep-ocean carbon into the atmosphere. Using Southern Ocean sediment cores, scientists traced how expanding Antarctic Bottom Water mixed long-isolated, carbon-rich waters upward. The findings reveal a major but underappreciated driver of early Holocene wa...

Antarctic Ozone Layer Shows Signs Of Recovery: NASA
The Antarctic ozone layer is showing signs of recovery, reaching an annual maximum of 8.83 million square miles on September 9, scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said.
