A new study on Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf has revealed that surface melting and seawater infiltration can have dramatically different effects on the structural strength of floating ice shelves.
As the 2025/26 Antarctic science season comes to an end, we look back at our highlights and achievements.
Scientists studying world’s largest and most famous icebergs find surprising differences in how they affect ocean life.
Researchers from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and South Korea (KOPRI) have concluded a highly ambitious field operation at Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica.
A team of researchers from the UK and Korea has reached the most inaccessible and least-understood part of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica where they will drill through the glacier to directly observe how warm ocean water is melting it from below.
A team of scientists, including those from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), have uncovered the hidden remains of a vast ancient coastal plain beneath East Antarctica—an important discovery that could refine forecasts of future global sea level rise.
The oldest ice ever extracted from Antarctica is on its way to Europe, marking a major milestone in climate science.
The world’s largest and oldest iceberg A23a has finally come to a standstill as it appears to have run aground near the sub-Antarctic Island of South Georgia.
GIANT is a pioneering science project that will test the potential for early warning of a critical climate tipping point.
The Beyond EPICA-Oldest Ice project has successfully drilled a 2800-metre-long ice core consisting of ice which is over 1.2 million years old.
Over 30 researchers from international institutes are working on ice core drilling campaigns in Antarctica to probe the ice sheet’s behaviour, carbon cycling in the Southern Ocean, and the Earth’s climate history.
POLOMINTS investigates how glacier calving triggers internal tsunamis, reshaping polar ocean mixing and influencing climate, ecosystems, and carbon cycling.
