An unprecedented leap of 38.5C in the coldest place on Earth is a harbinger of a disaster for humans and the local ecosystem...Poleward winds, which previously made few inroads into the atmosphere above Antarctica, are now carrying more and more warm, moist air from lower latitudes – including Australia – deep into the...
When the team at Vernadsky base are not back defending their homeland, they are on the frontline of the climate crisis
Emperor penguins are the largest but least prevalent Antarctic penguin species, with scientists estimating a total population of about 600,000
“ The research team, led by Durham University, UK, used satellite data and radio-echo sounding techniques to map a 32,000 km2 area of land underneath the vast ice sheet....
Many of the ice shelves have lost more than 30% of their initial mass over just 25 years — further evidence that climate change is altering Antarctica. Satellite observations have revealed an alarming loss of ice density at Antarctica's ice shelves over the past quarter century, highlighting the accelerating impact of climate...
Warm water on the western side of the continent is melting ice shelves faster than the natural rate, scientists found. Scientists at the University of Leeds have calculated that 67 trillion tonnes of ice was lost in the west while 59 trillion tonnes was added to the east between 1997 and 2021 – resulting in a net loss of 7.5...
Missing winter sea ice signals changes that could be a "disaster for the world", scientists say....
Study finds ‘direct evidence’ of polar amplification on continent as scientists warn of implications of ice loss
There is a danger Antarctica "stops acting as a refrigerant for the planet, and it starts acting as a radiator", one of the scientists involved has warned.
Extreme events in Antarctica such as ocean heat waves and ice loss will almost certainly become more common and more severe, researchers say....
Antarctic sea ice has usually been able to recover in winter. But this year, sea ice has not returned to expected levels during winter
Why would a glacier waterfall in Antarctica run red? New findings explain what's going on with "Blood Falls."
Members of a multinational group on Antarctic conservation failed to agree Friday on a roadmap for the creation of three new marine protected areas—a goal that has proven elusive for years.
