New study shows melting Antarctic ice adds only a small amount of iron to the ocean. Most iron comes from deep water and sea ...

A persistent "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica gives scientists a window into Earth's deep interior, showing how processes ...

A region beneath Antarctica where Earth’s gravitational pull is measurably weaker than anywhere else on the planet has persisted for roughly 70 million years, according to new research that traces the ...

In A Nutshell Antarctica, not the Indian Ocean, hosts Earth’s strongest nonhydrostatic geoid depression when scientists ...

Higher emissions could trigger collapsing ice shelves and rising sea levels in Antarctica, while lower emissions limit ...

Antarctica, not the Sahara, is the world’s largest desert. Defined by extreme dryness rather than heat, this frozen continent stretches across 14 million square kilometres of ice.

The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...

A rare deep-field Antarctic flight campaign has uncovered unexpected aerosol concentrations over the continent’s interior.

Antarctica is offering all kinds of jobs for people who are brave enough to live and work on the continent. It’s brutally ...

Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...

It is hard to believe that life can survive in Antarctica. Despite its harsh conditions, hardy flora and fauna do just that and have done so for thousands of years. Unfortunately, with the ...

According to a new study, researchers have identified a massive gravity hole-technically known as a Geoid Low-beneath the ...
