For decades, scientists have repeated some variations of a striking statistic: we know more about the topography of Mars and Mercury than we do about the ground beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet. It’s ...

The planet's warming climate is having effects in Antarctica that increasingly resemble those observed in the Arctic, meaning global sea levels could rise faster than previously predicted, Danish ...

Antarctica could see a doubling of extreme weather events—such as atmospheric rivers—by 2100, with implications for future sea level rise. A study published in Nature Communications reveals that ...

Scientists may be able to reliably forecast Antarctic ice loss through the middle of this century, offering governments a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Abrupt and potentially irreversible changes in Antarctica driven by climate change could lift global oceans by meters and lead to ...

And you’d be like … ‘can you not put two and two together?’” Those are the words of a former Antarctic tour guide we ...

Antarctic penguins are breeding earlier than ever recorded, with gentoo penguins showing the most dramatic shifts as warming accelerates along the Antarctic Peninsula. Earlier breeding can create ...

Beneath Antarctica's vast expanse of ice sit hundreds of canyons, some up to tens of thousands of feet deep. These complex formations under a seemingly barren landscape play a significant role in ...

Vast icy rock peaks tower above Argentina’s Carlini research base in Antarctica. But scientists who have worked there for decades say the glaciers are less icy than they once were. For international ...

Hidden beneath the thick, frozen skin of East Antarctica lies a surprising discovery—ancient river-carved landscapes that may hold the key to understanding how the vast ice sheet will behave as the ...

Half to three-quarters of major Antarctic penguin colonies face decline or disappearance if global temperatures are allowed to climb by more than 2°C. Half to three-quarters of major Antarctic penguin ...
