Antarctica’s winter sea ice usually forms a bright lid over millions of square miles. So when a massive, black patch was spotted by NASA scientists for the first time, satellite operators were taken ...

A massive hole appeared in Antarctica's sea ice in 2017. This happened near Maud Rise, an underwater mountain. Scientists identified it as a polynya. The Weddell Gyre, storms, and atmospheric ...

In addition to near-record warmth, the start of 2025 has seen record-low sea ice cover in the Arctic between January and March – and the second-lowest minimum sea ice extent on record for Antarctica.

Researchers found distinctive scratch marks left by the drifting icebergs as they gouged deep tracks into the North Sea floor more than 18,000 years ago. It's the first hard evidence that the ice ...

A giant hole has appeared in the sea ice of Antarctica and it's as big as Switzerland. The sea in Antarctica usually freezes over in winter but this hole was formed far from land, in the middle of ...

The NSIDC monitors the extent of sea ice across the globe and estimates that the annual minimum sea ice coverage in the Antarctic was about 1.98 million square kilometers or 764 thousand square miles.

They occur in some of the most remote and stormy waters on the planet, often shrouded by sea ice and funneled through narrow canyons that are easily missed by research ships. But our new research ...
