Scientists have documented what they say is the quickest retreat of an Antarctic glacier in modern history. Hektoria glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula shortened by 25 kilomeres in just 15 months, ...

As recently as the 1990s, when the Greenland Ice Sheet and the rest of the Arctic region were measurably thawing under the climatic blowtorch of human-caused global warming, most of Antarctica’s vast ...

Antarctica may have passed a climate tipping point of no return, scientists are warning, with mounting evidence that a sudden slump in sea ice formation since 2016 is linked to human-induced ocean ...

New research has revealed that East Antarctica’s vast and icy interior is heating up faster than its coasts, fueled by warm air carried from the Southern Indian Ocean. Using 30 years of weather ...

Scientists have gotten their closest-ever view of the denizens that inhabit a frigid underworld. An analysis of the genetic blueprints of nearly 1,400 microbes sampled from one buried Antarctic lake ...
