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 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.

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.

Who Is Ethan Guo? The 19-Year-Old US Influencer Pilot Stranded In Antarctica
He was on a mission to fly solo to all seven continents to raise $1 million for cancer research when his journey hit a roadblock.

Mystery Behind Antarctica Mountain Range Hidden For 500 Million Years Solved
The Gamburtsev Mountains are preserved by a deep layer of ice, making it one of the best-preserved mountain belts on Earth.

Major Ice Sheets May Already Be Past The Point Of No Return: Study
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting fast, and the process may be impossible to stop, a new study has warned.

What It's Like Working At The World's Most Remote Post Office In Antarctica
Around 70,000 cards are posted each year to over 100 countries from this extraordinary post office, surrounded by icy mountains and penguins.

Thriving Antarctic Ecosystem Found After Iceberg Split Leaves Scientists Stunned
Scientists found a rich community of fish, coral, octopus, anemones and sponges that previously sat beneath a sheet of ice 150 metres thick.

Meet The Antarctica Research Crew Trapped With "Violent" Colleague
A team of South African scientists expected to work together for months in a remote Antarctic research station was left shaken after one of them beat, threatened and sexually harassed at least two of his colleagues.

Trapped In Antarctica, Scientists Plead For Help, Accuse Colleague Of Death Threats
The claims were made in an email sent from the base, in which the sender expressed fear for their own and their colleagues' safety, urging immediate intervention.

Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the planet’s most powerful ocean circulation system, could slow by 20 percent by 2050 due to melting Antarctic ice. Researchers suggest that the influx of fresh, cold water is disrupting convection, altering global ocean density. A weaker current may allow warm water to reach Antarctica, accelerating ice loss an...

World’s Largest Iceberg A23a Grounds Near South Georgia, Raising Wildlife and Environmental Concerns
The world’s largest iceberg, A23a, has run aground near South Georgia, a key wildlife haven. Scientists are monitoring its impact on marine life, particularly on penguins and seals, as it could disrupt feeding routes. Some experts suggest the iceberg may also enhance ocean productivity by releasing nutrients. If it fragments, it may pose risks to...
