Penguins Are Breeding Earlier Than Usual, Courtesy Warming Antarctica
Penguins are bringing forward their breeding season at record rates as Antarctica rapidly warms due to climate change, according to research published by a global team of scientists on Tuesday.

Scientists Discover What Lies Beneath Antarctica's Ice More Clearly Than Ever
Previously, scientists relied on ground-based or airborne radar to map the subglacial topography.

Time Capsule For Earth: Scientists Seal Ancient Ice In Antarctica To Save Planet's Secrets
Ice cores, compacted for centuries or even millennia, can shed precious light on Earth's ancient climate when studied by scientists.

New Study Shows Antarctic Waters Unleashed Ancient Carbon at the Ice Age’s End
New research shows that shifting Antarctic circulation after the last Ice Age released ancient deep-ocean carbon into the atmosphere. Using Southern Ocean sediment cores, scientists traced how expanding Antarctic Bottom Water mixed long-isolated, carbon-rich waters upward. The findings reveal a major but underappreciated driver of early Holocene wa...

Scientists Warn Southern Ocean Could ‘Burp’ Stored Heat, Delaying Global Cooling for 100 Years
New modelling suggests the Southern Ocean could one day release the vast heat it has stored from greenhouse gas pollution. If CO₂ levels were pushed to net-negative, deep convection may trigger a sudden “thermal burp” that warms the planet for decades. Though idealised, the study shows how Antarctica’s surrounding seas could shape long-term...

Antarctic Ozone Layer Shows Signs Of Recovery: NASA
The Antarctic ozone layer is showing signs of recovery, reaching an annual maximum of 8.83 million square miles on September 9, scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said.

Antarctica Nears Irreversible Climate Tipping Point, Scientists Warn
Antarctica is approaching irreversible climate thresholds, scientists warn. Rapid melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, record-low sea ice, and collapsing ocean systems could raise global sea levels by over 3 m. These interconnected changes threaten coastal cities and ecosystems, urging immediate emission cuts to prevent cascading global consequ...

Scientists Uncover Vast Network of Submarine Canyons Off Antarctica
The canyons play a vital role in transporting nutrients and driving ocean currents.

Earth Is Spinning Faster, Says Study. This Could Force A Global Time Reset
In a rare and unprecedented move, scientists and world timekeepers are considering reducing one second from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as Earth's rotation speeds up.

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.

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.

Mystery Behind Antarctica Mountain Range Hidden For 500 Million Years Solved
The Gamburtsev Mountains are preserved by a deep layer of ice, making it one of the best-preserved mountain belts on Earth.

Scientists Reportedly Discover New Species of Marine Life on the Antarctic Ocean Floor
Strange underwater life ranging from hand-sized sea spiders to jelly-like sea pigs to a breeding sea butterfly has been found by Australian scientists investigating the Antarctic ocean floor. Taken aboard the RSV Nuyina icebreaker, these unusual species found at enormous depths provide understanding of life in one of the toughest places on Earth. S...
