A dramatic shift has taken place in the glaciers of the southern Antarctic peninsula, writes Bert Wouters.

With climate change heating things up, and the Earth's poles rapidly melting, it should come as no surprise that a major Antarctic ice shelf may completely disappear by 2020, according to a new NAS

The last intact section of one of Antarctica’s mammoth ice shelves is weakening fast and will likely disintegrate in the next few years, contributing further to rising sea levels, according to a ne

The largest ice shelf on the Antarctic peninsula is thinning because of warmer ocean and air temperatures that are driving it towards a collapse that could contribute significantly to sea level ris

SYDNEY: Growing sea ice surrounding Antarctica could prompt scientists to consider relocating research stations on the continent, according to the operations manager of the Australian Antarctic Div

PARIS: The largest ice shelf in the Antarctic peninsula is being thinned by warmer seas and air and could catastrophically break up, scientists said on Wednesday.

Sea level rise sped up over the last two decades rather than slowing down as previously thought, according to new research.

Sea ice around Antarctica is currently at record levels for May, part of a trend of increasing ice around the frozen continent making it harder to resupply and refuel research stations.

The new marine invertebrate species is part of a group of marine worms (polychaetous annelids) which commonly occur in marine seabeds rich in organic matter - from both natural and anthropogenic or
