A new study lays out the best- and worst-case scenarios for a warming Antarctica. Which one becomes reality is entirely up to ...

The Antarctic ice sheet does not behave as one single tipping element, but as a set of interacting basins with different critical thresholds. This is the finding of a new study by the Potsdam ...

The Discovery Building features a wind deflector that prevents snow from piling up next to the building. It could change how ...

A new study confirms the H5N1 virus was responsible for at least 46 skua deaths on the Antarctic peninsula in 2024.

Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million ...

This eerie, bulging-eyed fish lived beneath Antarctic ice for centuries - and scientists only just realized it's a new species.

The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...

Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...

Scientists say they have drilled deeper than ever beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, peering back millions of years to ...

A better understanding of the bedrock can help researchers calculate how quickly the continent's melting glaciers might affect sea-level rise ...

We had the Falklands and South Georgia to ourselves, and we really only encountered other ships on two of the days we were in ...
