From red urchins to orange sea cucumbers, researchers monitoring the fastest-melting glacier in East Antarctica are surprised ...

Led by The Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy (ISP-CNR), the scientists worked for more ...

At 1.2-million-years-old, a newly uncovered Antarctic ice core represents the oldest known ice on the planet. The 1.7 mile-long ice core was recovered from over 9,000 feet (2,800 meters) deep ...

Nasa says it has detected the first signs of significant melting in a swathe of glaciers in East Antarctica. The region has long been considered stable and unaffected by some of the more dramatic ...

The Conger Shelf, a 460-square-kilometers mass of ice has disintegrated in East Antarctica, it was reported over the weekend. It was the first to break up in four decades of satellite observations.

The fourth Antarctic campaign of the “Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice” project, funded by the European Commission, has achieved a ...

Tamura took part in the first full-scale research project in the area around the Totten Glacier in East Antarctica, where an ice-sheet melting mechanism similar to the Shirase Glacier appears to ...

Emerging from the ice for a brief growing season every Antarctic summer, the lush green mosses of East Antarctica are finally succumbing to climate change. That is according to a study of the ...

Further analysis could help test some previous theories about the behavior of refrozen ice under the Antarctic ice sheet and reveal more about East Antarctica’s glacial history. Importantly ...

“Nowhere on Earth is there a greater cause of uncertainty in sea-level rise projections than from East Antarctica, in Australia’s backyard,” the researchers wrote. “The East Antarctic Ice ...

There's conclusive evidence that the temperature in Antarctica is rising, according to the study. The most extreme heat wave ever seen globally, the study stated, "occurred over East Antarctica in ...

We’re working with French polar scientists at Dumont D’Urville Station in east Antarctica to monitor the lives of Adélie penguins. Climate change is complex. While disappearing sea ice poses a threat ...
