The magma chamber of Mount Erebus is a 100-kilometer-long tube through which melted rock is transported from the Earth’s mantle into the lava lake.
The more sea ice disappears in the Arctic, the higher is the acidification of the ocean there, shows a study by an international research team.
Sea ice off the East coast of Greenland prevents moist air from the South from reaching western Spitsbergen. But due to climate change, this barrier is lacking more often.
After a construction period of 3½ years at the Admirality shipyard in St. Petersburg, “Severny Polyus” is now in service in the Arctic for the first time.
In the twilight of the deep sea, lanternfish, which also play an important role in polar regions, have probably evolved through evolutionary processes that are not yet known.

Researchers have discovered that although bowhead whales live long lives, the bulls have small testicles and one gene is likely responsible.
The decline in Arctic sea ice only made it to 10th place on the list in what should have been a warm summer in 2022, but the downward trend remains.
Fin whales appear to migrate up from Antarctica as far as Chile for their wintering, a new study shows.
Greenland’s ice sheet has seen worse melting seasons than it did this year, but it has been a very long time since it has seen a good year
The Pine Island Ice Shelf is likely to dissolve much faster than previously thought due to massive calving, a new BAS study shows.

Pre-historic Alaska appears to have experienced seasonal floods capable of overwhelming a grown dinosaur
Using satellite imagery and drone imagery, researchers can develop a program that automatically detects seals on satellite images and counts them.
Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are such a vast and remote area that it is difficult for scientists to obtain accurate real-time data over a wide area and from a wide variety of corners. Therefore, research teams sometimes have to take unusual paths to obtain such valuable data. Groups from ETH Zurich and the Universities […]
An Arctic freshwater lake between glacial ice and seawater hosts a unique community of organisms – but for how much longer? Climate change threatens the lake.
One of America’s leading sources of science funding is putting artists and teachers where the sun doesn’t shine (for half of the year)
Cuba is not exactly known for doing polar research. In the meantime, it has been over 40 years since the first Cubans set foot in Antarctica.
The U.S. Antarctic Program is in need of a new research vessel and is now waiting for the green light for the funding of the project.
Global warming won’t mean the end of algae in Canada’s Arctic, but it will change the species found there
