The world’s largest and oldest iceberg A23a is on the move. After decades of being grounded on the seafloor and more recently spinning on the spot, the mega-iceberg has broken free from its position north of the South Orkney Islands and is now drifting in the Southern Ocean.
Polar ice sheets are critical for climate projections, according to new research published today in the journal Nature Communications Earth & Environment. Improving understanding of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets is essential for reducing the uncertainty around climate tipping points, and vital for guiding projections for a rapidly changing future climate.
A new season of construction is underway in Antarctica for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). Specialist teams are arriving at Rothera, the UK’s largest research station and gateway for international science and collaboration.
It’s not too late to sign up to Ticket to Antarctica. Your name can join RRS Sir David Attenborough in the Falkland Islands
New science briefing summarises results of the ambitious international collaboration to study Antarctica’s most worrying glacier
Your name will go on a journey to the frozen wilderness!
New project seeks to inspire, educate and entertain the public about Antarctica.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers is heading back to Greenland this week (30 July) for the second phase of the Wandel Dal Project.
Seabirds are among the most threatened creatures globally, often due to incidental mortality (bycatch) in fisheries.
A team will work in south-east Greenland to advance our understanding of the region’s rapidly decaying ice sheet and its impacts on ocean and global climate systems.
Construction teams have completed significant stages of the British Antarctic Survey’s (BAS) Antarctic Infrastructure Modernisation Programme and joined the over-wintering staff for the first time as the 2023/24 summer season ended.
Warm water that seeps underneath can melt ice in way not yet included in models
A new and worrying way that large ice sheets can melt has been characterised by scientists for the first time. The research focuses on how relatively warm seawater can lap at the underside of ground-based ice, which can accelerate the movement of the ice into the ocean.
In the first successful attempt to calibrate walrus counts from satellite imagery, scientists used drones to validate animal counts in Svalbard, Norway.
