Antarctic Scientists

The scientists predict that Thwaites Glacier and the Antarctic Ice Sheet could collapse within the next 200 years.

Scientists warn that repeated wind slowdowns could lead to a sudden and dramatic change in the vortex's direction.

Scientists have discovered a new tipping point toward "runaway melting" of Antarctic ice sheets, caused by warm ocean water intruding between the ice and the land it sits on, according to a study published on Tuesday.

The discovery of pink sand on the shores of Petrel Cove, Australia, has led scientists to uncover an ancient Antarctic mountain range.

Scientists spent 15 years listening to blue whales in the Antarctic using special buoys that can detect whale calls.

The ultraviolet radiation from the Sun increase the risk of skin cancer and cataracts in humans, but researchers do not yet know if the same is true for Antarctic mammals and birds.

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 investigating how Antarctica's ice sheets retreated in the deep past have turned to an innovative approach: studying the genes of octopuses that live in its chilly waters.

Forty years after India set up its first scientific base station in Antarctica, the researchers associated with the mission on Friday recalled how the country's first expedition to this polar region was kept under wraps from everyone.

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.

The melting of sea ice around Antarctica is leading to the loss of habitat for baby emperor penguins.

After decades immersed in Antarctic science, Ive learned that physical and biological changes rarely occur smoothly. More often than not, they unfold in sharp steps. Right now, Antarctica's climate and ecosystems are experiencing disturbing changes.

The neutrinos, or 'ghost particles', were detected by an astronomical detector buried in Antarctic ice.

Scientists camped in the Arctic are set to start drilling to save samples of ancient ice for analysis before the frozen layers melt away due to climate change, mission organisers said on Monday.

The Antarctic Ocean area covered by ice has shrunk to a record low, exposing the thicker ice shelves buttressing Antarctica's ground ice sheet to waves and warmer temperatures, scientists reported Thursday.
