In Antarctica, there’s a natural phenomenon that, for more than a century, has surprised scientists and explorers: an intense ...

The maximum Antarctic sea ice extent in 2023, shown here, was the lowest on record. The yellow line shows the average winter maximum of satellite observations from 1981 to 2010. New research shows ...

Gravity may seem constant, but it actually varies across the planet—and one of the strangest places is Antarctica, where gravity is slightly weaker than expected. Scientists have traced this “gravity ...

A persistent "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica gives scientists a window into Earth's deep interior, showing how processes far below reshape the planet's gravity field over millions of years.

An article published recently in Nature Geoscience warns that Antarctica's ice masses have begun to experience a process scientists call "Greenlandification." The term refers to the unprecedented ...

Antarctica’s frozen frontier is retreating, and the scale is far greater than many realize. Over the last several years, ...

A UC Irvine-led study used international and commercial satellites to measure glaciers and found more than three-quarters of Antarctica’s coast-reaching glaciers to be stable, with the other quarter ...

Underwater earthquakes in Antarctica can trigger massive phytoplankton blooms, linking deep-sea seismic activity to ocean ...

A new map reveals where Antarctica is retreating fast, exposing hidden hotspots of grounded ice loss and future sea level ...

And in one of the most remote corners of the planet, beneath Antarctica, gravity is at its weakest. In a new study published ...

Unexplainable signals are broadcasting out of Antarctica, and scientists are stumped. NASA’s Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) – a series of instruments suspended from high-altitude ...

Researchers show that the all-time record low in winter sea ice extent in 2023 can be explained by warm Southern Ocean conditions and patterns in the winds that circled Antarctica months earlier, ...
