Increased lightning strikes in the Arctic
A new phenomenon could spread across the skies of the Arctic in the future. Lightnings are relatively rare in the Arctic, but they have tripled in the last decade.
Polarstern expedition investigates iceberg A74
A huge iceberg broke off from the Antarctic ice sheet about two weeks ago. Photographs taken from the seafloor show an astonishing diversity of life.
Fossil tree shows consequences of magnetic pole reversal
A collapse of the Earth’s magnetic field, caused by the reversal of the magnetic poles, caused mass extinctions and climate changes 42,000 years ago.
Current weather anomalies find their origin in the Arctic
A weakening of the Arctic polar vortex has caused weather turbulence in the northern hemisphere since the beginning of the year.
Global ice loss corresponds to IPCC worst-case scenario
Globally, ice loss has been accelerating since the 1990s, and more than half of it has occurred in the northern hemisphere.
Next iceberg on the way soon
Recent satellite photos give reason for the formation of an iceberg the size of New York. The ‘calving’ of the iceberg seems inevitable. The only question is: when?
Iceberg A68 off South Georgia breaks apart
Iceberg A68 drifted close to the island of South Georgia and supposedly threatended the local wildlife. Latest satellite images show that the giant disintegrated into unproblematic fragments.
