A new study by New Zealand researchers recently suggested that Māori, the indigenous people of mainland New Zealand have a substantially longer history with the southernmost continent of Earth.
Recent studies suggest that the rise of sea level due to ice lands collapsing will double by 2100 if the Paris Climate Agreement won't be put to action. But a steady or lesser temperature of 2 degrees Celsius may prevent the melting of the Antarctica peninsula.
A geologist revealed that if polar ice caps keep melting, days on Earth could be longer than 24 hours and that's because Earth will eventually spin slower, leading to increased sea levels at its axis.
The killer whale chased a gentoo penguin was being chased in the Gerlache Strait, Antarctica. The penguin leaped into the side of the boat full of tourists as they watched the chase unfold.
Despite Antarctica's hostile environment, researchers found the first stationary living organism in an Antarctic ice shelf far from light or warmth, adding to its mystery.
Experts hope to find the deepest ice cores drilled from the continent of Antarctica. They aim to gather samples that are as much as 1.5 million years old.
The recent episode of "Climate Now" showed a closer look at melting ice and rising sea levels to understand further the real occurrence as the poles of the earth warms.
The largest-ever coalition of female scientists aims to elevate the female voice in science, as well as calling for a Marine Protected Area in the Antarctic Peninsula.
