Antarctic Peninsula

Deception Island, located off the Antarctic Peninsula, is one of the only places in the world where ships can sail directly into the center of an active volcano.

Overwatch 2’s season 3 event is now live, heralding an Asian mythology theme with new skins and cosmetics. The new healing ninja Kiriko is getting a customisable Amaterasu skin, which can be unlocked by completing tiers in the premium battle pass. Additionally, Blizzard is introducing Loverwatch, a limited-time browser-based dating simulator, whe...

Researchers from University of Chile found that the Pseudomonas bacteria, one of the predominant bacteria groups in the Antarctic Peninsula, can be a source of 'resistance genes'. These bacteria are said to carry natural antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance and have the potential to spread out of the polar regions.

The year 2020 is the hottest in the Antarctic Peninsula in the past three decades, a study by the University of Santiago de Chile out Friday found.

A research base in the Antarctic has recorded the hottest temperature ever for the continent amid rising concern about global warming that has caused an increase in the melting of ice sheets around the south pole.

"It's like getting stabbed," a tourist exclaims, as he plunges into the three-degree Celsius (37-Fahrenheit) water, all under the intrigued gaze of a group of penguins. All around Half Moon Island, off the Antarctic Peninsula, blocks of ice of all sizes float by on a calm sea, their varying forms resembling weightless origami shapes.

A college-campus-size iceberg spotted on the Antarctic Peninsula margins is upending public expectations of classic Titanic-esque icebergs with sharp spires jutting from the ocean surface.

Researchers in Antarctica have discovered rapidly growing banks of mosses on the ice continent's northern peninsula, providing striking evidence of climate change in the coldest and most remote parts of the planet.

In recent years, Greenland's enormous Petermann glacier has lost huge pieces of ice, one four times the size of Manhattan, one two times its size.

For some time, scientists who focus on Antarctica have been watching the progression of a large crack in one of the world's great ice shelves - Larsen C, the most northern major ice shelf of the Antarctic peninsula, and the fourth largest Antarctic ice shelf overall.

The mass extinction event that killed the dinosaurs was sudden and just as deadly to life in the polar regions, according to a study of more than 6,000 marine fossils from the Antarctic.

They go to paddle between glistening icebergs or ski on blinding white ice, but a rising number of polar tourists get to see something else, too: the monumental changes wrought by global warming.

Annual snow accumulation on West Antarctica's coastal ice sheet increased dramatically by about 30 per cent during the 20th century, according to a new study.

An increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.

Climate change is not only causing warmer oceans and erratic weather, it also has the capacity to alter the shape of our planet, a new study has warned.
