HX Expeditions has been leading adventure travel trips since 1896 and has more than 20 years of experience operating in ...

The slightly warmer temperatures around the middle of the Earth melted the top layers of ice to form meltwater ponds that hovered around 0°C. This stable, warmer temperature could have served as a ...

The dramatic loss of sea ice around Antarctica has occurred with the re-emergence of the Maud Rise polynya in the Weddell Sea ...

New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the ...

A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater near the surface could help explain some of the decrease in Antarctic sea ...

A massive and surprising change is unfolding around Antarctica. Scientists have discovered that the Southern Ocean is getting saltier, and sea ice is melting at record speed, enough to match the size ...

A sudden salinity spike in the Southern Ocean is accelerating Antarctic ice loss and triggering a dangerous climate feedback ...

A team of international scientists circumnavigating Antarctica has documented widespread environmental decline, including ...

Scientists are questioning whether a ‘regime shift’ to a new state of diminished Antarctic sea-ice coverage is underway, due ...

The lower-left height‑change map (February 2020–January 2023) uses green shading for ice loss and pink for ice gain across the same region.
