While technically possible, risks like weather and visibility, and other factors refrain commercial flights from flying over Antarctica.

Deep beneath the Southern Ocean, a quiet but alarming shift is underway: warm water is creeping closer to Antarctica, and scientists are now seeing it clearly for the first time. By combining decades of ship data with robotic float measurements and machine learning,

New data confirms what climate experts have long worried about: a warm mass of deep polar water has expanded toward Antarctica.

New research shows that relatively warm circumpolar deep water has expanded and moved toward Antarctica's continental shelf over the past two decades, threatening to melt ice shelves from below. This shift, confirmed by combining decades of ship-based ...

Beware the global meltdown. Antarctica is melting from below due to rising heat from the ocean, threatening the ice shelves, potentially accelerating sea rise and other catastrophic climate effects around the globe,

NASA has found a hidden lake deep beneath Antarctica. The lake has a unique chemistry far more like Mars than Earth. What is hiding deep in this hidden lake?

Two new studies that relied on data from a fleet of diving robots show how climate change is altering ocean movements in ways that jeapordize the stability of the polar ice cap

Antarctica’s winter heatwave saw temperatures rise 28°C above normal, signaling stronger climate change impacts, rising sea levels, and more frequent extreme weather ahead.

Mara Virginia Schmid and Franco Paolo Ormaechea first met in 2014 while stationed at Esperanza Base in Antarctica and fell in love.

Antarctica is a destination of staggering extremes – home to the largest ice sheet on the planet, soaring 14,700-foot mountains, active "Ring of Fire" volcanoes and the coldest surface temperature ever recorded (a bone-chilling minus 136 degrees Fahrenheit).
