From Antarctica To Brussels, Hunting Climate Clues In Old Ice
Ice dating back millions of years can be found deep inside Antarctica, close to the South Pole, buried under kilometres of fresher ice and snow.

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.

Scientists Baffled By Mysterious Radio Waves Coming From Under Antarctica Ice
The researchers analysed signals travelling to the surface from below the ice, using a variety of instruments.

Rare Blood-Red Squid Seen Alive For The First Time Off Antarctica - Watch
Gonatus antarcticus is an elusive cephalopod found only in the frigid waters around Antarctica.

Emperor Penguin Population Declining At Alarming Rate In Antarctica: Study
Emperor penguin populations in Antarctica have shrunk by almost a quarter as global warming transforms their icy habitat, according to new research on Tuesday that warned the losses were far worse than previously imagined.

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.
-
New Study Reveals Recent Ice Gains in Antarctica, But Long-Term Melting Continues
A study led by researchers at Tongji University using NASA's GRACE satellites has observed recent ice gains in Antarctica from 2021 to 2023, mainly due to unusual precipitation. However, the long-term satellite data from 2002 to 2020 shows a significant and accelerating trend of ice loss. However, experts emphasize this short-term gain does not rev...

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...

World's Biggest Iceberg Runs Aground Off Remote Antarctic Island
The world's biggest iceberg appears to have run aground roughly 70 kilometres from a remote Antarctic island, potentially sparing the crucial wildlife haven from being hit, a research organisation said Tuesday.
