Underwater earthquakes in Antarctica can trigger massive phytoplankton blooms, linking deep-sea seismic activity to ocean ...

The latest triumph in ocean technology comes from a small, rugged machine that slipped beneath Antarctic ice into a part of the planet no human has ever seen, gathered a torrent of data, and then did ...

In remote West Antarctica, two glaciers are melting. The Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers account for more than a third of the total ice loss in Antarctica. Thwaites, roughly the size of Florida, is ...

A new study shows Antarctica’s biggest ice losses are happening at a few weak coastal gateways where glaciers are retreating inland.

Antarctica’s frozen frontier is retreating, and the scale is far greater than many realize. Over the last several years, ...

Antarctica has lost nearly 5,000 square miles of "grounded ice" in 30 years, as warming ocean waters drive retreat in vulnerable regions, a new study finds.

(CNN) — Swirling underwater “storms” are aggressively melting the ice shelves of two vital Antarctic glaciers, with potentially “far-reaching implications” for global sea level rise, according to a ...

For what is likely the first time, a Ross seal has been photographed below the ocean's surface. Ross seals, the smallest and rarest members of the Antarctic true seal family, are incredibly elusive.

It’s a $2 million gamble. Scientists with the University of Washington in conjunction with Paul G. Allen Philanthropies are sending robots to Antarctica for as long as a year in what will be the ...

In a remote part of Antarctica's western Weddell Sea, an area once hidden beneath a 200-meter-thick ice shelf, scientists have uncovered a new and unusual phenomenon: extensively maintained fish ...
