Antarctic blue ice plays a crucial role in surface energy balance and paleoclimate research. A high-accuracy and comprehensive dataset of blue ice areas (BIAs) is essential for understanding climate ...

The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) instrument on the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) provides global measurements of polar ice sheet elevation to discern changes in ice ...

Anna Wåhlin, the lead researcher of the study, remarked, “By maneuvering the submersible into the cavity, we obtained ...

A submersible revealed hidden ice structures under the Antarctic before vanishing, highlighting the complexities of ice shelf melting dynamics.

New images from ESA's Biomass satellite reveal forests, volcanoes, deserts and glaciers in striking detail, hinting at what's still to come.

High-resolution topography represents an efficient tool to map landscapes in ice-free areas in Maritime Antarctica. Digital terrain models obtained by generalization as a main process, present lower ...

For more than a century, Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Henry Shackleton's 144-foot long ship "Endurance" was lost off the coast of Antarctica beneath the icy Weddell Sea. In 2022, the ship was found ...

Nearly a decade ago, a detector searching for ghostly cosmic particles found two anomalous signals in Antarctic ice. But scientists haven’t been able to find anything similar.

Scientists are trying to solve a decade-long mystery by determining the identity of anomalous signals detected from below ice in Antarctica. The strange radio waves emerged during a search for ...

King Charles has recorded a warm personal message to researchers in Antarctica celebrating a frozen Midwinter's Day - the first time a monarch has given the annual broadcast. Marking the BBC ...

Scientists are venturing to the Southern Ocean to study clouds and the world's cleanest air to better understand climate change and the impact of human activity on the Earth's atmosphere.

Professor Lloyd Peck of the British Antarctic Survey says warming seas are putting polar ecosystems at serious risk, with lasting consequences. “If the Earth warms up, the first places to ...
