Antarctica will "almost certainly" witness more common and more severe extreme events, such as ocean heatwaves and ice loss, having global implications, researchers say.

The drone-derived imagery is being used by researchers to evaluate the fragile ecosystem in Antarctica and changes in the extreme environment.

After spending four months in darkness, the crew of the Concordia research station in Antarctica has finally witnessed the sun again.

The Union Cabinet is learnt to have approved a draft legislation to provide a regulatory framework for India's research activities in Antarctica and protect the environment in the icy continent.
