Scientists drilled through 523 meters of Antarctic ice and recovered a record-breaking core preserving up to 23 million years of Earth's climate history

Scientists recovered a sediment core from beneath West Antarctica's ice. This core preserves millions of years of ice sheet history and past environmental changes. Researchers will analyze marine microfossils and sediment layers for clues about past temperatures. The findings will help predict Antarctica's reaction to future climate change. This research…

Why Penguins in Antarctica Take Turns in the Huddle and What It Reveals About Survival

The cold that makes the huddle necessaryWind chill on the Antarctic breeding grounds of emperor penguins can drop to -60°C. A lone penguin standing in that wind loses body heat faster than its metabolism can replace it. The emperor penguin's core body temperature sits around 37°C, roughly the same as…

Antarctica missing nearly Argentina-sized sea ice, new study warns of faster global warming

Antarctica's role in global warming may be underestimated, a new study reveals. Researchers found Antarctic sea ice, cloud cover, and ocean heat absorption are more interconnected than climate models suggest. This suggests warming could accelerate, with significant implications for sea level rise and extreme weather. Urgent greenhouse gas emission cuts…
