THE otherworldly continent of Antarctica seems all the more fantastical when seen from a new perspective, as shown in these maps laying out its different features in detail. The maps were devised and ...

About 4,000 scientists travel around the vast, ice-covered continent of Antarctica each year to look at topics ranging from climate change to the search for dark matter, and prior to 2007, they were ...

Peter Rejcek, Antarctic Sun Editor: A science team planning to hunker down in Bull Pass in Antarctica’s central McMurdo Dry Valleys would today receive a fairly simplistic map that outlines proposed ...

Scientists using satellite data have now created the most detailed maps ever produced of the vast snow-covered Antarctic continent. The maps reveal unprecedented views of surface features that provide ...

This folder is part of a collection of Waldo L. Schmitt papers. Schmitt was a carcinologist. He participated in many field trips and expeditions to observe crustaceans in the USA and around the world.

If even a fraction of Antarctica’s ice melts, the resultant sea level rise will reshape coastlines around the world. A new study gets us one step closer to predicting if and when that will happen, by ...

Chances are you make it through most days without sparing a thought for Antarctica. At just over 5.4 million square miles, it’s a massive chunk of land that is nearly twice the size of Australia and ...

Antarctic scientists have combined measurements provided by an underwater robot with existing satellite data to show that Antarctic sea ice may be thicker than previously thought. Their ...

Top mapmakers are busily updating their charts after a massive iceberg sheared off Antarctica, fundamentally changing the landscape of the peninsula — likely forever. The 1 trillion ton iceberg that ...

Climate change is ravaging the ice that covers Antarctica, and how fast it melts will make a huge difference in how fast oceans rise. But the shape of the bedrock underneath is as important as the ...
