The massive Thwaites glacier in West Antarctica contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by 65cm if it were to completely collapse. And, worryingly, recent research suggests that its long-term stability is doubtful as the glacier hemorrhages more and more ice.

After calling at Rothera, the RRS Sir David Attenborough will continue its mission South, making calls at Signy, King Edward Point and Bird Island research stations, and heading to the Stange Ice Front for its ice trials.

South Africa is interested to study Antarctica together with Ukraine using capabilities of the Ukrainian new vessel

Antarctica has strict rules for waste management: a person does not have to leave behind any garbage.

Using modern methods to calculate projected changes to sea levels, researchers discovered that the two ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica respond differently, reflecting their very distinct local climates.

On the eve of Independence Day, Ukraine acquired British icebreaker James Clark Ross. The ship will arrive in Odesa under the Ukrainian flag. This is expected to happen in early autumn.

Nat Geo cartographers say the swift current circling Antarctica keeps the waters there distinct and worthy of their own name: the Southern Ocean.

Antarctica's fourth largest ice shelf risks collapse due to mountain winds, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA).

Drones May be the Answer to Less-Invasive Ecological Monitoring

For the first time, researchers have collected data from underneath the remote Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica using an underwater robot.

The catalyst for the problems has been the COVID-19 pandemic, but the main reason is totally different.

Driven by the circumpolar current, like a satellite around Antarctica, POLAR POD will allow the acquisition of data and long-term observations that will be transmitted to researchers, oceanographers, climatologists, biologists.
