Researchers revealed that the Southern Ocean is changing in ways that differ from what scientists had expected.

For example, ice melting in Antarctica is causing sea-level rise in other parts of the world and warming seas are impacting the animals living in the ocean. Sea ice is one of the main features of ...

The curious minds at What If examine the global destruction that could unfold if Antarctica's ice were to melt completely.

An expedition by more than 50 researchers from seven countries has documented the gradual degradation of Antarctica: microplastics in the water, melting ice, and declining salinity in the Southern ...

The disappearance of sea ice in polar regions due to global warming not only increases the amount of light entering the ocean, but also changes its color. These changes have far-reaching ...

Soot from forest fires in the Amazon might play a role in the melting of faraway ice in Antarctica. For decades, scientists have known that black carbon from burning fossil fuels or forests ...

Recent scientific studies reveal that melting ice sheets in West Antarctica might trigger volcanic activity, creating a cycle that speeds up ice loss and sea-level rise.

Antarctica – a land of endless ice, but beneath this frozen expanse lies a hidden and potentially explosive secret... volcanoes. What’s Beneath the Ice? Over 100 dormant volcanoes lie buried ...

More than 100 volcanoes lurk beneath the surface in Antarctica - and climate change melting the ice could awaken them, a study has found.

A new study suggests the melting of Antarctica’s ice sheet, driven by the climate crisis, may increase volcanic activity under the surface.
