NASA Spots Skull-Shaped Antarctic Island Losing Its Snow Cover
The March image shows the island covered in snow, while the October image reveals large areas of darker ice without a snow cover.

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.

Key Antarctic Glacier Just Lost A Piece Of Ice Four Times The Size Of Manhattan
An enormous Antarctic glacier has given up an iceberg over 100 square miles in size, the second time in two years it has lost such a large piece in a process that has scientists wondering if its behavior is changing for the worse.

UN Reports Antarctica's Highest Temperatures On Record
Paris: The UN's World Meteorological Organization published the highest temperatures on record in three Antarctic zones on Wednesday, setting a benchmark for studying how climate change is affecting this crucial region.

Large Hidden Lakes Found Draining Below Antarctic Glacier
Large hidden lakes beneath one of the planet's fastest-moving glaciers on the edge of West Antarctica are draining out at an unprecedented rate, a new study has found.

Antarctic Ice Loss May Raise Sea-Level By 3 Metres: Study
Current rates of climate change may trigger instability in a major Antarctic glacier, ultimately leading to a sea-level rise of almost three metres, a new study has warned.
-
Antarctica's Ice Is Being Carved Up From Below
Two years ago, a pair of scientific studies documented that the glaciers of West Antarctica, which hold back more than 3 meters (nearly 10 feet) of potential sea level rise, are melting and retreating from below. The cause? It appears that these glaciers, which are perched on the seafloor deep below the ocean surface, are being lapped at by flows o...

Hidden Paths Could Be Behind Antarctic Glacier Melt, Says Study
Scientists have discovered two pathways that are likely channelling warm ocean water under a massive Antarctic glacier, which could contribute to rising global sea levels, a study revealed today.
