In Antarctica's freezing depths, tiny creatures have mastered survival tactics that could unlock secrets to extreme cold resistance, with implications for science and medicine. Some of the most ...

Ice cores that record 1.2 million years of Earth’s atmosphere are on their way to Europe to be analysed, and an Australian ...

In the frigid waters originally hidden below, scientists discovered what appear to be new species of crustaceans, fish and other life forms.

The Antarctic ice sheet behaves like a non-Newtonian fluid and may be more nonlinear than previously thought. This impacts its future stability and requires revisions to predictions of sea level rise.

Scientists have found a massive 315-mile-wide anomaly beneath East Antarctica. It could be the biggest impact crater ever discovered buried under 1.6 kilometers of ice.

Scientists found "a beautiful, thriving ecosystem" in a dark and isolated location: The former shadow of a glacier.

Researchers have proposed many origins for a gravity anomaly in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, but the latest evidence ...

UFOs, strange structures, and unexplained phenomena buried deep beneath the ice. In 1946, the U.S. launched Operation Highjump, a military expedition meant to last six months. It ended in six weeks.

Enhanced westerly winds associated with global warming will strengthen the clockwise circulations and heat transport to the ice sheet in the East ...
