What to Know Last week, the BAS released Bedmap3, "the most detailed map yet" of Antarctica's landscape beneath its blanket of ice, a press release about the map said.

A new detailed map of Antarctica is set to significantly improve predictions of how ice flows and melts in response to climate change, say the scientists behind the project. The map, called ...

Experts have revealed Antarctica is “more vulnerable” than previously feared, as a new map reveals what lays under the ice. The estimates, created by Bedmap3, have also re-evaluated the ...

Scientists have mapped Antarctica’s terrain in unprecedented detail, in what’s said to be the highest-resolution map of its kind for any continent in the world.

Maps of Antarctica used to be notoriously low resolution. But that's changed with a new map that researchers say is not only the most detailed survey of the South Pole in history, but also the ...

As the name of the map implies, this is the third effort to illustrate Antarctica’s rock bed. The project began in 2001, but the researchers involved say the new map represents a dramatic ...

A 'vulnerable Antarctica' Scientists said the map revealed that the ice sheet is at greater risk of melting due to the incursion of warm ocean water that’s occurring at the fringes of the ...

1st map of Antarctica's green space unveiled. Here's what it shows. Opinion By Claudia Colesie published 11 August 2024 ...

One theory is that Antarctica was not always as cold and covered in snow. An ancient map dating back to the 1500s seems to show Antarctica’s coastline in unprecedented detail.

Antarctica’s peculiar green snow is spreading, according to researchers who have created the first large-scale map of microscopic algae growing on the chilly, southernmost continent.

The Antarctic ice sheet, which covers 98% of the continent, averages around 1.2 miles in thickness, with its thickest point reaching nearly 3 miles, the Australian Antarctic Program reports.
