Antarctic sea ice is more than just a platform for penguins. The sea ice's high reflectivity influences the whole Earth's ...

On her first dedicated scientific voyage to Antarctica in March, the Australian icebreaker RSV Nuyina found the area sea-ice ...

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

The consequences of Antarctic ice loss are serious and varied and monitoring the issue faces challenges as American ...

There is currently less sea ice in the Antarctic than at any time in the forty years since the beginning of satellite observation: in early February 2023, only 2.20 million square kilometers of ...

The claim: Changes in Antarctic sea ice coverage shows global warming is not happening. A Dec. 28 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) shows two maps of Antarctic sea ice dated Dec. 26, 1979 ...

A new study found that Antarctic ice shelves have shrunk by at least 30% since 1997. That's enough ice that if it melted, it would cover the continental US in 3 feet of water.

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 ...

Sea ice that covers the ocean around Antarctica hit a record low surface area in the winter, a preliminary analysis of US satellite data shows, and scientists fear the impact of climate change is ...

Antarctica’s huge glacial ice expanse and the surrounding sea ice cover are critical to regulating the climate, because it reflects the sun’s energy back to the atmosphere and space.

Then, as Antarctic winter approaches, the ice begins to grow again. At its most expansive, the sea ice covers an area the size of Antarctica itself – essentially, the frozen continent doubles in ...

There is currently less sea ice in the Antarctic than at any time in the forty years since the beginning of satellite observation: in early February 2023, only 2.20 million square kilometres of ...
