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

Extraordinary Heatwave In Antarctica Left Scientists Baffled. What They Found
Climate scientists dont like surprises. It means our deep understanding of how the climate works isnt quite as complete as we need. But unfortunately, as climate change worsens, surprises and unprecedented events keep happening.

Viral Image Shows Pink Flowers Blooming In Antarctica, Here's The Truth
Many users pointed out that the image is misleading and fake, and such claims have gone viral in the past too.

Global Warming: Thousands Of Penguins Die In Antarctic Ice Breakup
The melting of sea ice around Antarctica is leading to the loss of habitat for baby emperor penguins.

An "Extraordinary Situation" Is Unfolding In Antarctica Amid Record Heat
Amid a summer of record heat, the most dramatic impact may be taking place under the cover of Antarctic night.

Antarctic Ocean Ice Melts To Record Low. How This Impacts Global Warming
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.

Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' In Trouble As Warm Water Melts Weak Spots
Scientists studying Antarctica's vast Thwaites Glacier - nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier - say warm water is seeping into its weak spots, worsening melting caused by rising temperatures, two papers published in Nature journal showed on Wednesday.

Warm Water Melts Weak Spots On Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier": Report
Scientists studying Antarctica's vast Thwaites Glacier - nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier - say warm water is seeping into its weak spots, worsening melting caused by rising temperatures, two papers published in Nature journal showed today.

Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" On Edge Of Disaster, Says Study. Here's What Will Happen If It Disintegrates
The scary new study has alerted us about the rapid disintegration of one of the biggest glaciers in the world.

Warm Water Headed Towards East Antarctic Ice Sheet Might Accelerate Global Sea-Level Rise
A recent study has revealed that warmer water in the ocean is moving towards the East Antarctic ice sheets and is likely to accelerate the rise in global sea level. This, according to experts, will damage the marine life and threaten human coastal settlements.

Antarctica To Lift Seas By Metres Per Degree Of Warming, Study Finds
Raising Earth's average surface temperature another degree Celsius will lock in 2.5 metres of sea level rise from Antarctica alone and an extra three degrees see the frozen continent lift oceans 6.5 metres, scientists warned Wednesday.

South Pole Warmed Three Times The Global Rate In Last 30 Years: Study
At the South Pole, considered the coldest point on Earth, temperatures are rising fast. So fast, in fact, that Kyle Clem and other climate researchers began to worry and wonder whether human-driven climate change was playing a bigger role than expected in Antarctica.
-
Antarctica Records Hottest Temperature Ever At 18.3 Degrees
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.

Ozone Hole Above Antarctica Is Smallest On Record, But There's A Catch
The Antarctic ozone hole hit its smallest annual peak on record since tracking began in 1982, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA announced Monday. Although we're making progress in cutting down on the use of ozone-depleting chemicals, the milestone doesn't mean we've solved the problem, the agencies cautioned.

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.
