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...

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.

This Stunning Antarctic Lake Is Buried In Ice. And That Could Be Bad News
Atop the ice sheet covering the Arctic island of Greenland, you now see dramatic melting in the summer. It forms lakes, rivers and even dangerous "moulins" in the ice where rivers suddenly plunge into the thick ice sheet, carrying water deep below.
