Thriving Antarctic Ecosystem Found After Iceberg Split Leaves Scientists Stunned
Scientists found a rich community of fish, coral, octopus, anemones and sponges that previously sat beneath a sheet of ice 150 metres thick.

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...

Nasa Captures 'Sea Smoke' Rising from Antarctic Glacier. Know How It Happens
Sea smoke is essentially fog above water and occurs when cold, frigid air above the glacier meets with relatively warm water surrounding it

Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' Is Heading For Collapse Sooner Than Expected
The scientists predict that Thwaites Glacier and the Antarctic Ice Sheet could collapse within the next 200 years.

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.

Scientists Discover Ancient River Landscape Beneath Antarctic Ice Sheet
In the new study, researchers analysed the past of the glacier sheet, based on the land beneath the Aurora and Schmidt basins, between the Denman and Totten glaciers.

Scientists Discover Huge River Hidden Under Antarctica
Glaciologists say that the river has the potential to substantially affect the way the glacial ice above it flow and melts.

NASA’s Satellite Imagery Shows Antarctic Ice Shelf Crumbling Faster Than Imagined
NASA’s recent study led by researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has revealed that Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice. This raises new concern about how fast climate change is weakening Antarctica's floating ice shelves and accelerating the rise of global sea...

Researchers Claim Vast Water Bodies Found Below Antarctica Glaciers
Researchers have found vast bodies of water underneath one of the biggest Antarctica glaciers, giving crucial insight into the possible outcomes of global climate change, the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) has revealed.

Thousands Of Earthquakes Recorded In Antarctic As Ice Cracks
Scientists have recorded thousands of 'ice quakes' in Antarctica at night, a phenomenon that may help track glacier melting and explain the breaking of large ice shelves.

UK, US Study Antarctic Glacier, Hoping To Crack Sea Level Risks
Britain and the United States launched a $25 million project on Monday to study the risks of a collapse of a giant glacier in Antarctica that is already shrinking and nudging up global sea levels.

Huge Iceberg Breaks Off Antarctic Glacier
An iceberg over 250 square kilometres in size, has broken off from an enormous Antarctic glacier - the second such incident in two years, scientists say.
-
Key Antarctic Glacier Just Lost A Piece Of Ice Four Times The Size Of Manhattan
An enormous Antarctic glacier has given up an iceberg over 100 square miles in size, the second time in two years it has lost such a large piece in a process that has scientists wondering if its behavior is changing for the worse.

Secret Life May Thrive Under Antarctic Caves: Study
A secret world of animals and plants - including unknown species - may be thriving in warm caves under Antarctica's glaciers, scientists said today.

UN Reports Antarctica's Highest Temperatures On Record
Paris: The UN's World Meteorological Organization published the highest temperatures on record in three Antarctic zones on Wednesday, setting a benchmark for studying how climate change is affecting this crucial region.
