Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation
- Friday March 21, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
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
- Friday March 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
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...

Antarctica’s Melting Ice Could Awaken Hidden Volcanoes, Impact Climate Change
- Wednesday January 8, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
As Antarctica’s ice sheet continues to melt, scientists warn it could awaken over 100 hidden volcanoes beneath the surface. The loss of ice reduces pressure on magma chambers, allowing the magma to expand and potentially trigger eruptions. This could lead to increased volcanic activity, releasing gases and heat that may accelerate ice melt, weake...
