Antarctic sea ice is more than just a platform for penguins. The sea ice's high reflectivity influences the whole Earth's ...

Scientists at the Australian Antarctic Partnership Program are just beginning to understand the dire effects of extremely low ...

Extreme lows in sea ice induce many changes in the physical, ecological, and societal systems of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. A: an average sea ice summer. B: an extreme low sea ice summer. In B ...

Sea ice that packs the ocean around Antarctica hit record low levels this winter, adding to scientists' fears the impact of climate change at the southern pole is ramping up.

Antarctic ice pack has broken a record for melting, even before the end of the austral summer. It fell to 1.91 million square kilometers on Monday, February 13, ...

A sudden salinity spike in the Southern Ocean is accelerating Antarctic ice loss and triggering a dangerous climate feedback ...

The sea ice in Antarctica’s McMurdo Sound has held secrets beneath its surface for decades. Now, scientists have unlocked some of those mysteries by studying how this fast ice—frozen sea water ...

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015 ...

A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater ...

Even as the Southern Hemisphere shifted into winter, Antarctic sea ice remained at record low levels. On June 27, the ice was dotted across about 11.7 million square kilometers of ocean.
