Antarctica

China, only the third country to put a man in space after the Soviet Union and United States, is to build ground stations on Antarctica to back its network of ocean monitoring satellites, state media said on Thursday.

An Italian ice-breaker carrying scientists researching in the Antarctic has sailed further south than any ship has done before, the organisers of the voyage said on Tuesday, a further sign of how ice is retreating around the poles.

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

The five meteorites recovered by the team will now be analysed at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences where scientists will study their chemical composition.

French astrobiologist Cyprien Verseux was conducting research in Antarctica when the temperatures dipped to as low as -60 degrees Celsius. In conditions like that, he decided to check how the food we eat every day behaves in such low temperatures.

Engineers say they used traditional naval ship damage control methods to stabilise the structure, such as wooden stakes and blocks.

It was slowly drifting along the Antarctica for more than a year, but its melting has accelerated now and the iceberg is heading for its eventual demise, the outlet further said.

Antarctica's summer season lasts from October to February, and the sun is nearly always in the sky at this time. In the summer, the days quickly lengthen until the sun never sets at all.

The US government warned that the emperor penguin of Antarctica is in danger of going extinct because of rising global temperatures and a loss of sea ice.

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

Indian-origin Sikh Army officer, Captain Preet Chandi will make history by becoming the first woman to cross Antarctica solo in an unsupported expedition.

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

Four women have been selected to run the world's most remote post office in Antarctica. They have also been tasked to count the penguin population during their five-month stay.
