Validating the data from ESA’s CryoSat ice mission takes scientists to some of the most inhospitable places on Earth. This photo shows the camp where scientists spend around three months at a time ...
When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ...
Antarctica’s biggest and oldest free‑floating iceberg is undergoing a startling transformation, with its once white surface now streaked by vivid pools of blue. The color shift is more than a visual ...
For decades, Antarctica seemed to defy global warming. Since satellites began monitoring the poles in the late 1970s, the seasonal growth and retreat of Antarctic sea ice—frozen seawater that expands ...

A new study suggests Antarctica’s ice sheet hit a climate tipping point about one million years ago, making it far more reactive to temperature and CO2 changes. Researchers warn this surprising ...
On her first dedicated scientific voyage to Antarctica in March, the Australian icebreaker RSV Nuyina found the area sea-ice free. Scientists were able to reach places never sampled before. Over the ...
Melting ice from West Antarctica once delivered huge amounts of iron to the Southern Ocean, but algae growth did not increase as expected. Researchers found the iron was in a form that marine life ...
Researchers are looking into our planet’s past to understand its future. Just like archaeologists investigate layers of dirt for ancient artifacts, geologists analyze layers in cores—tube-shaped ...
A large and fast-melting glacier in West Antarctica has sped up dramatically since 2017. This may be a sign that the floating ice shelf in front of it is no longer helping to hold back the ice. Pine ...
