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 Has Mountain Ranges Bigger Than Manhattan Deep Beneath Its Ice
A team of British researchers used "ice penetrating radar" to map the sub glacial landscape, which they say adds a key piece of evidence to understand the frozen continent's past, present and future behavior. The researchers discovered three valleys linking Antarctica's two major parts: the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet and the far bigger Eastern Ant...

Ancient Antarctic Volcanic Eruptions Sparked Climate Change
Climate changes that began about 17,700 years ago included a sudden poleward shift in westerly winds encircling Antarctica with corresponding changes in sea ice extent, ocean circulation, and ventilation of the deep ocean.
