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

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

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 ...

A fresh set of numbers is changing what scientists thought happens when a city‑sized slab of ice dissolves into the sea. The ...

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

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

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

A recent study found that four large glacier basins in East Antarctica have experienced substantial ice growth over the past ...

Ice cores are a pretty good way to get an idea of the Earth's atmosphere in the ancient past, thanks to their ability to trap bubbles of gas within them. "Like a prehistoric fly trapped in amber ...

A Baffling Signal Shot Up From Deep Within Earth’s Ice—and No One Knows What Caused It Could the signals be coming from particles previously unknown to physics?

Instruments flying more than 18 miles (29 kilometers) above Antarctica detected two unexplainable radio pulses coming from below the ice — and these signals seem to defy particle physics.
