What Is Antarctica's Blood Waterfall? The Mystery Of A Red Cascade Flowing From Ice
Antarctica's Blood Falls were first observed by Australian geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor during the Terra Nova expedition in 1911.

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.

Study Inspects Hundreds Of Earthquakes Detected At Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier'
Glacial earthquakes occur when tall, thin icebergs detach from glaciers and crash into the sea.

65 Years After His Death, Body Of British Man Found In Antarctic Glacier
The remains of Dennis "Tink" Bell, who was 25 when he fell into a crevasse while working in Antarctica, have been discovered.

"More Explosive And Frequent": Melting Glaciers Might Trigger Volcanic Eruptions Globally, Study Warns
As global temperatures rise and the ice melts, the loss of weight and pressure can trigger explosive eruptions.

Blood Waterfall: All About Antarctica's Mysterious Natural Phenomena
One of the most intriguing phenomena in Antarctica is the Blood Falls, a red-coloured waterfall that flows from Taylor Glacier into the West Lake Bonney.

Rare Sea Smoke and Streaming Snow Phenomena Captured Near Pine Island Glacier
In October 2024, Pine Island Glacier displayed unusual atmospheric phenomena, including rare sea smoke and blowing snow. Captured by NASA's Landsat 8, these events were visible due to clear skies. Strong winds pushed warmer water to the surface, creating sea smoke, while blowing snow from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet influenced the glacier’s land...

Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier Is Headed for Collapse, Could Rise Global Sea Level Significantly: Study
Recent research on the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica shows alarming rates of melting that could significantly impact global sea levels. Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, including Rob Larter and Kiya Riverman, discovered that Thwaites’ retreat may lead to a rise of up to 10 feet in sea levels, threatening coastal ...

Scientists Find When And Why Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" Began Melting
Scientists have reconstructed the past life of Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" and discovered how it started retreating rapidly in the 1940s.

Antarctic Volcano That Ships Can Sail Into May Hold Clues To Life On Mars
On Deception Island in Antarctica, steam rises from the beaches, and glaciers dot the black slopes of what is actually an active volcano -- a rare clash of ice and fire that provides clues to scientists about what life could look like on Mars.
