Global Antarctic Research Declines Amid Growing Climate Crisis
Ice loss in Antarctica and its impact on the planet - sea level rise, changes to ocean currents and disturbance of wildlife and food webs - has been in the news a lot lately.

NASA Study Shows Antarctic Ice Growth Despite Rising Global Temperatures: How It Happened
Researchers said the ice levels in Antarctica naturally fluctuate each year; however, the growth slowed down by early 2024.

Antarctica's Hidden Mountains Date Back 500 Million Years Ago: Study
Have you ever imagined what Antarctica looks like beneath its thick blanket of ice? Hidden below are rugged mountains, valleys, hills and plains.

Ancient Ice Core from Antarctica May Reveal Climate Mysteries from 1.2 Million Years Ago
A team of scientists in Antarctica has extracted a 2.8-kilometre-long ice core from Little Dome C, believed to be 1.2 million years old. The ice core contains trapped air bubbles and volcanic ash, offering valuable data on climate shifts and the Mid-Pleistocene Transition. The research aims to uncover the cause behind significant climatic changes a...

Antarctica Experiences Exceptionally Long Heatwave, Says Research Body
Antarctica, the world's coldest continent, is experiencing an exceptionally long heatwave during its winter, according to Britain's national polar research institute.

Antarctic Ice Sheet Collapse Closer Than Thought, Reveals Octopus DNA
Scientists investigating how Antarctica's ice sheets retreated in the deep past have turned to an innovative approach: studying the genes of octopuses that live in its chilly waters.

Warm Water Headed Towards East Antarctic Ice Sheet Might Accelerate Global Sea-Level Rise
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.

"Close To Living On Another Planet": Antarctica's 4-Month Night Begins
The sunset on May 13 was the last one Antarctica will see in the next four months. The ESA said this is a very exciting time for its researchers.

Antarctica's Ice Melt Quickens, Risks Metres Of Sea Level Rise: Study
Antarctica's annual ice losses have accelerated six-fold in the past 40 years in a trend that could push sea levels metres higher in coming centuries amid man-made global warming, scientists said on Monday.

As Trump Mulls Paris Climate Deal, Antarctica Could Soon Break Off A Delaware-Sized Iceberg
A long-growing crack in the Larsen C ice shelf, one of Antarctica's largest floating platforms of ice, appears to be nearing its endgame.

New Crack In One Of Antarctica's Biggest Ice Shelves. Major Break Next?
The Larsen C ice shelf just moved a step closer to losing a huge chunk of ice.

Enormous Antarctic Ice Shelf Rift Grows By Another 6 Miles
A more than 100-mile-long crack in one of Antarctica's largest ice shelves grew another 6 miles in little over two weeks this month, British scientists reported Thursday. That's on top of an 11-mile growth that occurred in the second two weeks of December - representing a 17 mile total advance in not much more than a month.

Scientists May Have Just Solved One of The Most Troubling Mysteries About Sea-Level Rise
Scientists have announced a potential solution to a tantalizing puzzle about sea-level rise that's remained unsolved for more than a decade. In doing so, they've helped confirm scientists' latest estimates of 20th-century glacial melting and our understanding of how sea-level rise fundamentally affects the planet - down to the way it spins on its a...

Runaway Loss of Antartica Ice May Last For Centuries
The runaway loss of ice from Antarctica as a result of global climate change could last for centuries, said a study on Friday.

Scientists Confirm There's Enough Fossil Fuel on Earth to Entirely Melt Antarctica
The frozen continent at the bottom of the world has been the subject of increasing concern as rising temperatures cause more ice to melt every year.
