How Everest, The World's Highest Mountain, Rose From An Ancient Ocean
Long before Mount Everest became the roof of the world, the rocks that form its summit were lying at the bottom of a sea. Today, the Himalayan peak rises to nearly 8,848 metres above sea level, making it the highest point on Earth.

Final Chapter Of A23a? Colossal Antarctic Iceberg Nears Its End, Might Disappear Within Weeks
Disintegration of the world's oldest iceberg has implications for global sea levels and marine ecosystems.

Record-Breaking Drill Beneath Antarctic Ice Reveals Ancient Open Ocean and Future Sea Level Risks
Scientists drilled deeper than ever beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and found sediment and marine remains showing the area was once open ocean. The 23-million-year record offers key clues about past melting, helping researchers better predict how quickly the ice sheet could retreat and affect future global sea levels.

Ever Seen A Reverse Waterfall? Viral Video Shows Maharashtra's Rare Phenomenon
A recent viral video has captured the mesmerising sight of reverse waterfalls in Maharashtra, where powerful monsoon winds push water upward instead of down.

Glaciers Speed Up in Summer and Slow in Winter, New Global Map Reveals
A new global map of glacier speeds, built from nearly a decade of satellite observations, shows that glaciers consistently move faster in summer and slower in winter. Meltwater acts as a natural lubricant, accelerating flow during warm months. Scientists warn that glaciers with strong seasonal shifts are likely to speed up long-term, adding to futu...

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...

When Will Volcanic Ash Leave Delhi, Other Parts Of India? What Weather Body Said
The volcanic ash is eight to 15 kilometres above sea level and is travelling with wind speeds of 150 km/h - leaving no impact on the already 'very poor' air quality in Delhi.

Chumathang Hot Spring: Soothing Himalayan Stopover You Should Not Miss
Chumathang Hot Spring, located in Leh district near the Indus River, sits along the route to the well-known Tso Moriri Lake.

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...

Researchers Use AI to Predict Storm Surges Faster and More Accurately
AI-powered models are transforming storm surge forecasting by generating accurate coastal flood predictions in minutes. Using past storm data and neural networks, these systems outperform traditional physics models, helping coastal communities prepare faster as climate change drives stronger hurricanes and higher seas.
