A new map of Antarctica’s seafloor reveals a vast and previously overlooked network of 332 submarine canyons, some plunging more than 4,000 meters. The findings provide an unprecedented view into how ...

Antarctica’s biggest and oldest free‑floating iceberg is undergoing a startling transformation, with its once white surface ...

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015, the frozen continent has lost sea ice similar to the size of Greenland.

What can submarine canyons teach scientists about the Earth’s oceans? This is what a recent study published in Marine Geology hopes to address as a team of scientists conducted the most extensive ...

Schematic diagram. beryllium-7 produced by cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere is transported to near-ground levels via folding of the tropopause associated with low- and high-pressure systems, and is ...

The paper found that the water in the Southern Ocean has unexpectedly been getting saltier over the last 10 years, a reversal of a trend measured since roughly the 1970s. Its main author told Snopes ...

The sea ice surrounding Antarctica has increased in extent and concentration from the late 1970s, when satellite-based measurements began, until 2015. This behavior has presented a conundrum for ...

When Antarctic krill swarm, the semi-transparent shrimp-like crustaceans join together in the millions or trillions, forming dense coral-colored underwater clouds as they swim in sync with one another ...
