Antarctica, the world's coldest continent, has cooled dramatically over the past 35 years, a finding that is perplexing scientists and going against the general trend of rising temperatures nearly ...

From above and below, Antarctica’s vault of ice, holding back almost 60 meters of potential sea level rise, seems more imperiled than ever.

Now we have a preliminary indication that since 2016 Antarctic sea ice coverage has shrunk. Changes in the relationship between the ocean and sea ice suggest that the current low sea ice state may ...

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.

Bedmap3 is the most fine-grain map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice. Scientists created it using more than 60 years' worth of data from satellites, ships and dog-drawn sleds.

In Brief Researchers have, for the first time, directly observed the flow of water beneath the ice of West Antarctica. They drilled a 500-metre-deep hole through the Antarctic ice sheet until they ...

Bedmap3 is the most fine-grain map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice. Scientists created it using more than 60 years' worth of data from satellites, ships and dog-drawn sleds.

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 ...

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has released an interactive map of Antarctica. It combines information on coastlines and contours and is available to everyone from tourists to researchers to ...

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.
