A sudden salinity spike in the Southern Ocean is accelerating Antarctic ice loss and triggering a dangerous climate feedback ...

A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater near the surface could help explain some of the decrease in Antarctic sea ...

The maps were produced from composited image swath data acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) over Antarctica for the 2003-2004 austral summer season.. Parameter(s): ...

Who Owns Antarctica? 511 Billion Barrels of oil are hidden under the ice, potentially sparking an unsettling race to influence the future of the last place on earth you can't visit. In this video, I ...

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in Antarctica, uncovering a 1.2-million-year-old ice core. This ancient ice holds valuable data on past climate conditions, which could help us ...

The world map is familiar sight on classroom walls and in atlases, but in terms of country and continent size, it’s way off – and all because of a 16th-century projection.

Like other partial Antarctic denizens, Wall also has to pass a physical exam every August, and at 70 years old, has yet to fail it. ... Antarctica could change drastically, Wall said.

A century after British explorer Robert Scott reached the South Pole, "incredibly rich," rarely seen pictures give an inside look at the ill-fated expedition.

The use of remote sensing to map the Antarctic vegetation has generated few maps at local scales, mainly in areas frequently visited by researchers (Calviño-Cancela & Martin-Herrero 2016), usually by ...

The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), a range of equipment flown up on a balloon to capture waves from cosmic rays before they strike the Earth’s surface, picked up the signals.

Scientists are puzzled after a cosmic particle detector flying high above Antarctica picked up a series of strange signals–ones that current science can’t explain.

Researchers in Antarctica discover mysterious radio waves from beneath the ice, challenging scientific understanding as these signals should be undetectable through rock ...
