New research explores the wide-ranging consequences of record low summer sea ice in Antarctica. From more ocean warming to ...

A 'vulnerable Antarctica' Scientists said the map revealed that the ice sheet is at greater risk of melting due to the incursion of warm ocean water that’s occurring at the fringes of the continent.

Bedmap3 is the newest map showing what Antarctica will look like without ice. British Antarctic Survey. Scientists used data from planes, satellites, ships, and dog sleds to create the map and ...

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 ...

Everyone knows Antarctica is cold and icy, but what's underneath the ice has been a mystery. Scientists used six decades' worth of technology to take a peek.

Scientists have unveiled the most detailed map of Antarctica without ice, revealing its hidden mountains, canyons, and geological features. The new Bedmap3 dataset helps researchers understand ice ...

The most detailed map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice sheet has been assembled by a team of international scientists led by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). Known as Bedmap3 ...

As global temperatures rise, Antarctic ice will gradually start to loosen and fall into the ocean. With Bedmap3 as a guide, researchers can determine which parts of the sheet are likely to fall ...
