Australian Antarctic Division

Researchers have found vast bodies of water underneath one of the biggest Antarctica glaciers, giving crucial insight into the possible outcomes of global climate change, the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) has revealed.

Two emperor penguins in Antarctica captured a short video of themselves after coming across a camera left on the ice by a human. The Australian Antarctic Division posted the comical, 38-second clip to its social media channels Thursday. " . . . It didn't take long for the naturally curious birds to seize the opportunity for a selfie," the group sai...

A ferocious blizzard today was hampering attempts to rescue 68 expeditioners and crew stranded on Australia's flagship icebreaker Aurora Australis after it broke its mooring and ran aground in frozen Antarctica.

A Canadian helicopter pilot was in critical condition today after plunging 20 metres (66 feet) down a crevasse after he landed on a remote ice shelf in Antarctica, Australian officials said.

The Australian Antarctic Division said the UAV was proving to be a valuable addition to the current suite of sea-ice navigation tools

Scientists have discovered two pathways that are likely channelling warm ocean water under a massive Antarctic glacier, which could contribute to rising global sea levels, a study revealed today.

A team of Australian and New Zealand researchers has tracked scores of blue whales off Antarctica, eavesdropping as the world's largest animals began their rumbling song, which can be detected 750 kilometres (465 miles) away.

Australia said on Wednesday it was searching for a new aircraft landing site for planes supplying its three bases in Antarctica because the current runway is melting due to global warming.
