New research warns of growing threat to fragile Antarctic plant ecosystems – but cutting emissions could prevent the worst outcomes.
Scientists studying world’s largest and most famous icebergs find surprising differences in how they affect ocean life.
Layers of ancient bird droppings preserved in the peatlands of the sub-Antarctic island of Bird Island have given scientists a window into 8,000 years of seabird history.
