For decades, Antarctica seemed to defy global warming. Since satellites began monitoring the poles in the late 1970s, the ...

A study found that channels beneath ice sheets could trap warm water and accelerate the ice’s deterioration.

Antarctica is being ravaged by a triple-whammy of climate chaos that has melted sea ice to record lows, a new study has ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden Antarctic threat that could accelerate global sea level rise far faster than expected.

Hidden warm-water traps beneath Antarctica may be melting the continent’s ice far faster than scientists realized.

Antarctic sea ice is shrinking faster than expected. New research shows how winds, ocean heat, and feedback loops caused this ...

For decades, it seemed Antarctica might be insulated from rapid ice melting, but then sea ice began to decline dramatically.

Why it matters: Antarctic sea ice loss threatens to speed up global warming, disrupt ocean currents, and raise sea levels faster than current projections. What's driving it: A combination of stronger ...

Antarctica is the world’s great cooling unit. This vital part of Earth’s climate system is largely powered by the annual freeze and melt of millions of square kilometres of sea ice around the ...

Antarctica has long been seen as Earth’s frozen shield, vast, remote, and seemingly unbreakable. Yet scientists are now warning that some of its most .
