The record-breaking retreat of Antarctic sea ice in 2023 has led to more frequent storms over newly exposed parts of the Southern Ocean, according to a study published last month.

A slow climate feedback loop may be bubbling beneath Antarctica's vast ice sheet. The continent, divided east to west by the Transantarctic Mountains, includes volcanic giants such as Mount Erebus and its iconic lava lake.

With Antarctica's climate warming at an unprecedented rate, scientists are battling with dangerously thin ice and equipment falling through into the sea.

Under the ice cover accumulated over thousands of years lies the history of carbon dioxide fluctuations, providing insight into Earth's climate from 50,000 years ago. Scientists from Oregon State University,

Climate change is dramatically reshaping Antarctica, a continent long considered one of the most remote and stable regions on Earth. While much attention has been focused on the alarming rise in sea levels and the accelerating loss of ancient ice sheets,
