The Latest Breaking News from Antarctic

One of the harshest and most dynamic regions on Earth is the marginal ice zone – the place where ocean waves meet sea ice, which is formed by freezing of the ocean’s surface.

Australian scientists will soon travel more than 1200 kilometres over Antarctic ice to discover the secrets of atmospheric climate change.

A massive tsunami would swamp New York City and beyond, killing millions. London, Venice and Mumbai would also become aquariums.

Extreme heat this year has triggered wildfires, drought and melting glaciers. Less expectedly, it’s also revealed some weird and dark things about our past — shipwrecks, corpses, ghost villages, ornamental gardens and ancient cities. Here’s a look at some of those discoveries.

Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice, doubling previous estimates of losses from the world's largest ice sheet over the past 25 years, a satellite analysis showed on Wednesday. The first-of-its-kind study, led by researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near…

Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice, doubling previous estimates of losses from the world's largest ice sheet over the past 25 years, a satellite analysis showed on Wednesday.

As Antarctica’s slow rivers of ice hit the sea, they float, forming ice shelves. These shelves extend the glaciers into the ocean until they calve into icebergs.

The world's largest ice sheet is called a 'sleeping giant' for good reason and Australian scientists say the race is on to prevent a horrible awakening.

UN says temperatures nearly half a degree above average last month, as EU monitor records record-low Antarctic sea ice.
