A new study confirms that penguin guano kicks off a chemical reaction that causes clouds to form.
The behemoth A23a calved in 1986 and has been drifting across the Southern Ocean for the last five years.
If the giant A23a grounds near South Georgia, it could endanger the island's penguins and seals.
The achievement represents the longest continuous record of Earth’s climate from an ice core.
After escaping the grips of a marine vortex, an iceberg bigger than Rhode Island is heading north.
Scientists thought the lake, buried deep beneath the ice, was frozen. They were wrong.
The 90-million-year-old resin offers a rare trace of a long-lost ecosystem.
Vegetation has grown more than tenfold over the past four decades, a new study finds.
After years of research, scientists studying the massive Thwaites Glacier have found little reason for optimism.
The strange temperature fluctuation might be due to a rare stratospheric warming over the continent.
Peering up at the teardrop-shaped structures, the researchers compared the experience to seeing the far side of the Moon for the first time.
Researchers looked at satellite photos and saw that several colonies of emperor penguins suffered loss due to early sea ice loss.
The Antarctic strawberry feather star is one of four new related species believed to have been discovered by a team of marine scientists.
It's the Brunt Ice Shelf's single largest calving event since satellite monitoring began in the 1970s.
After a successful test at a popular research station last September, Starlink is now connecting scientists working at remote field camps.
The team found five meteorites during their recent expedition. The rocks are now headed to a museum for study.
Long-term research points to a 43% decrease in the Adélie population in East Antarctica.
Two new studies drive home the urgency of curbing warming to keep the continent's ice sheets intact.
The Antarctic sea ice the penguins need has been disappearing and off-schedule. Baby birds "drown and freeze" as a result.
Geophysicists used remote sensing to see reservoirs beneath the surface. That water could speed up the loss of ice as the climate warms.
