After a summer of fasting on land, the bears need to get back to their frozen home to hunt seals and bulk up. But their ...

A new study published in Communications Earth & Environment gives possible insight into the underprediction of sea ice ...

Breaking this figure down, Antarctic had 819,308 sq miles (2.12 million km) of sea ice, while Arctic had 5.26 million sq miles (13.64 million km). This breaks the previous five-day record low of 6 ...

Researchers have designed an alternative, autonomous observational method to monitor the Arctic’s melting ice, which holds ...

This latest sea-ice low appears to have been driven by a combination of warm air, warm seas and winds breaking apart the ice. Over the 5 days to 13 February, the combined extent of Arctic and ...

Arctic cyclones may be accelerating sea ice loss by breaking ice into smaller pieces and driving upwelling of warm water. A study links these storms to rapid ice depletion and suggests that tropopause ...

Killer whales, or orca, are moving into Arctic waters once blocked by ice, preying on narwhal, beluga and bowhead whales and ...

Dark algae that grow on the surface of Arctic ice sheets are likely to expand their range in the future, a trend that will exacerbate melt, sea level rise and climate warming. “These algae are ...
