NASA's mission to the Arctic uncovered something that wasn't supposed to exist. Beneath the ice lay what appears to be a long ...

This temperature was relatively warm—six degrees C above average. The winter had been the mildest in 75 years. The sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean was at its smallest extent on record.

The Arctic is the early warning system for climate change and the loss of sea ice is a clear sign it’s in trouble, scientists say. It should be reaching its annual maximum levels of ice at this ...

Arctic sea ice reached a record low in March 2025, marking the lowest extent in the 47-year satellite record. The shrinking sea ice, attributed to rising global temperatures from burning fossil ...

Melting sea ice in the Arctic is opening up lanes in the ocean for the global trade route -- lanes that were previously blocked. In the near future, the melting will have a big impacts on major ...

For decades, scientists believed the Arctic Ocean was sealed under a massive slab of ice during the coldest ice ages — but new research proves otherwise. Sediment samples from the seafloor ...

"The Arctic is one of the fastest warming regions in the planet," said Flavio Lehner, chief climate scientist for Polar Bears International and assistant professor at Cornell University, who ...

Over the winter months, the build-up of sea ice around Cambridge Bay and across the Arctic helps keep the sea water underneath close to the freezing temperature, which for saltwater is around -1.8°C.

The Arctic reaches its maximum sea ice in March each year and then starts a six-month melt season. The National Snow and Ice Data Center said the peak measurement taken Saturday was 5.53 million ...

"Our proposed autonomous observation platform system offers a comprehensive approach to studying the Arctic environment and monitoring the impact of melting sea ice," said Tsung-Chow Su, Sc.D ...
