The Latest Breaking News from Antarctic

Melting ice could weaken Earth's strongest ocean current 20% by 2050, study reveals.

Global sea ice cover fell to a historic low in February when the world continued to experience exceptional heat and temperatures reached 11 degrees Celsius above average near the North Pole, Europe's climate monitor said on Thursday.

An ocean current 100 times stronger than the Amazon River is expected to slow as ice sheets melt, with knock-on impacts for sea level rise and ecosystems.

Freshwater from melting ice sheets can slow the critical ocean circulation that helps regulate the planet’s climate

Flowing clockwise around Antarctica, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It’s five times stronger than the Gulf Stream and more than 100 times stronger than the Amazon River.

Melting Antarctic ice is releasing cold, fresh water into the ocean, which is projected to cause the slowdown

A new study has revealed that "hug of death" megaraptorids and previously unknown carcharodontosaurs shared Australia's unique Antarctic dinosaur ecosystem during the Cretaceous.

Australia's icebreaker will soon depart on its maiden dedicated scientific voyage to study one of the largest glaciers in Antarctica.

Australia’s Antarctic territory represents the largest sliver of the ice continent. For decades, Australian scientists have headed to one of our three bases – Mawson, Davis and Casey – as well as the base on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island, to research everything from ecology to climate science.
