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 ...

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Removing the 27 million cubic km of ice that covers Antarctica, the hidden locations of the tallest mountains are revealed. From Bedmap3 updated ice bed, surface and thickness gridded datasets for ...

A map of the survey area with newly discovered seamounts in the Southern Ocean. (Image credit: FOCUS voyage/CSIRO) The leak isn't new, according to the statement, but the scientists hope the new ...

The map shows the location and size of the massive ice sheets based on 277 ice surveys over the past 60 years. The BAS team, led by glaciologist Hanish Pritchard, estimates a mean ice thickness of ...

Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth, with temperatures sometimes plunging to a frigid -135.8 F. Chunks of ice do break away, or "calve," occasionally in a natural process of iceberg formation.

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.
