With high carbon dioxide, low oxygen and no photosynthesis, here’s how an entire ecosystem persists in Movile Cave, one of the most extreme environments on Earth.

Melting Antarctic ice is weakening the world’s strongest ocean current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, according to research published in the journal Environmental Research Letters on Monday.

In the last few years, Antarctic sea ice has been behaving erratically. Sea ice cover has been much more variable than it used to be, with anomalies lasting much longer than previously documented.

But fresh, cool water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the salty water of the ocean, potentially disrupting the vital ocean current. Our new research suggests the Antarctic Circumpolar ...

which combines the amount of sea ice present in the Arctic and Antarctic, hit a new low in early February and remained below the previous record from 2023 for the rest of the month. In particular ...

The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to research published on Monday that warned of "severe" climate consequences.
