Ancient Ice Core from Antarctica May Reveal Climate Mysteries from 1.2 Million Years Ago
A team of scientists in Antarctica has extracted a 2.8-kilometre-long ice core from Little Dome C, believed to be 1.2 million years old. The ice core contains trapped air bubbles and volcanic ash, offering valuable data on climate shifts and the Mid-Pleistocene Transition. The research aims to uncover the cause behind significant climatic changes a...

Antarctica’s Pyramid-Shaped Peak: A Geological Masterpiece
The pyramid-shaped mountain in Antarctica’s Ellsworth Mountains has captivated imaginations with its near-perfect symmetry. While conspiracy theories suggest ties to ancient civilizations or extraterrestrial construction, scientists explain the peak’s geometry as a result of freeze-thaw erosion over millions of years. This process has sculpted ...

Antarctica’s Melting Ice Could Awaken Hidden Volcanoes, Impact Climate Change
As Antarctica’s ice sheet continues to melt, scientists warn it could awaken over 100 hidden volcanoes beneath the surface. The loss of ice reduces pressure on magma chambers, allowing the magma to expand and potentially trigger eruptions. This could lead to increased volcanic activity, releasing gases and heat that may accelerate ice melt, weake...

NASA Satellite Image Reveals Unique Horseshoe-Shaped Deception Island in Antarctica
NASA's Landsat 8 satellite captured an image of Deception Island, a horseshoe-shaped semi-submerged volcanic caldera located in the South Shetland Islands. Created by an eruption approximately 4,000 years ago, it remains vital for scientific research and as a safe harbour for ships navigating the harsh Southern Ocean. Deception Island is home to th...

Amber Discovered For the First Time in Antarctica: What You Need to Know
Scientists have uncovered the first-ever amber from Antarctica, dating back to the mid-Cretaceous period. Found in the Pine Island trough, this amber is between 92 and 83 million years old. The discovery offers insights into the ancient conifer-rich, swampy rainforest ecosystem near the South Pole. It also shows that all continents once supported r...
