The “gravity hole” formed at least 70 million years ago after convection in Earth’s mantle. The weak gravity could impact our ...

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

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

Mining is banned on the frozen continent. But new research suggests that could change as ice melts and land and valuable minerals are exposed.

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.

A popular climate theory suggested that melting Antarctic glaciers would release iron into the ocean, sparking algae blooms that pull carbon dioxide from the air. New field data from West Antarctica ...

Deep beneath Antarctica’s ice, scientists have uncovered a geological archive that could reshape predictions of future sea-level rise.

Iron fertilisation has long been touted as a glimmer of hope amid rising emissions – but a new study has seemingly debunked ...

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 ...

A new map reveals where Antarctica is retreating fast, exposing hidden hotspots of grounded ice loss and future sea level risks.

Melting ice is an emblem of climate change. For sea ice, the Arctic has been grabbing most of the headlines for its truly ...

Antarctica’s Hektoria Glacier stunned scientists by retreating eight kilometers in just two months, with nearly half of it ...
