Antarctic

The massive iceberg, which is nearly 600 square miles (1550 sq km), broke free from the 492ft-thick (150m) Brunt Ice Shelf on Sunday.

Satellite photographs of one of the most remote and inaccessible parts of Antarctica have revealed a recently discovered emperor penguin colony.

This rectangular iceberg was pictured in 2018 as part of Operation IceBridge, NASA's longest-running aerial survey of polar ice.

Glaciologists say that the river has the potential to substantially affect the way the glacial ice above it flow and melts.

Four women have been selected in order to run the most distant office in the world and count penguins in Antarctica.

After spending four months in darkness, the crew of the Concordia research station in Antarctica has finally witnessed the sun again.

NASA’s recent study led by researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has revealed that Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice. This raises new concern about how fast climate change is weakening Antarctica's floating ice shelves and accelerating the rise of global sea...

A recent study has revealed that warmer water in the ocean is moving towards the East Antarctic ice sheets and is likely to accelerate the rise in global sea level. This, according to experts, will damage the marine life and threaten human coastal settlements.

There are more than 18 species of penguins that live only in the southern hemisphere, according to Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day on Thursday following a request from the government that the Indian Antarctic Bill, 2022 be taken up for consideration when Opposition members are also present in the House.

The ozone hole was found by a scientists in University of Waterloo, Canada. The discovery has led to fresh concerns among environmentalists.

Scientists have discovered an ozone hole in the earth’s lower stratosphere that is comparable in depth — but seven times larger — to the springtime Antarctic ozone hole. The large, all-season ozone hole has been detected over the tropics, which make up half of the Earth's surface area and are home to about half the planet’s population. The ...

Researchers from University of Chile found that the Pseudomonas bacteria, one of the predominant bacteria groups in the Antarctic Peninsula, can be a source of 'resistance genes'. These bacteria are said to carry natural antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance and have the potential to spread out of the polar regions.

For a dozen Ukrainian scientists thousands of kilometers from home at the Vernadsky Antarctic base, the biting cold hurts less than the feeling of helplessness over the war in their homeland.

The successful candidates will have to be at the base from November 2022 to March 2023. They will also have to count penguins and other wildlife.
