Over the past 4,000 years, the penguins in the southern Ross Sea switched from mainly eating one type of fish – the bald notothen – to another, Antarctic silverfish. The bald notothen lives ...

Penguin poop is stinky but useful. In Antarctica, the birds’ nutrient-rich guano allows mosses and other organisms to flourish in an otherwise inhospitable place. And, since poop stains on the ice are ...

He is also A/Prof. at CAOS, Indian Institute of Science. Flowing clockwise around Antarctica, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It’s five times ...

The nine-person team had only just arrived for a 13-month overwinter mission at South Africa's Sanae IV Antarctic base when officials in Pretoria received an email saying a team member had become ...

Scientists have used one of Australia's most powerful supercomputers to show that melting Antarctic ice sheets could slow the world's strongest ocean currents by flooding it with fresh water.

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators ...

A giant phantom jelly is documented in the Bellingshausen Sea off Antarctica, at an area where the shelf break and slope are cut by several underwater gullies. This jellyfish can grow to a massive ...

A lucky group of scientists were able to explore a never-before-seen part of the Antarctic after an ice shelf broke, revealing newly exposed seafloor and a previously inaccessible ecosystem ...

The proposed new station will be discussed at this year's Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting in Italy in June, however member states are unable to veto proposed new stations under the Antarctic ...
