Antarctic sea ice cover is becoming much more variable as the climate changes; there has been a string of record high years ...

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

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 ...

Researchers have discovered a dramatic and unexpected shift in the Southern Ocean, with surface water salinity rising and sea ...

Unusual radio waves were discovered below the surface of Antarctica over a decade ago, which follow-up studies haven’t been ...

Retreating glaciers — rivers of ice shrinking back as the world warms — are the most tangible and direct evidence of climate ...

Antarctic sea ice extent has fallen dramatically in recent years – the effects include accelerated ocean warming, faster loss ...

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 ...

For the most part, researchers used to think that the Antarctic’s ice was relatively stable. It saw a slow decline from 1978 to 2015, but not nearly as much of a decline as the Arctic did.

In a remarkable discovery, scientists have pinpointed the cause behind an unusual and major event in Antarctica. During the winters of 2016 and 2017, a huge gap in the sea ice, about the size of ...
