Forget the image of a frozen and still continent: scientists have just revealed hundreds of earthquakes beneath East Antarctica, in an area where no one expected to find this phenomenon.

Science and Technology

Antarctica hides the deepest terrestrial abyss on the planet beneath the Denman Glacier, a canyon buried 3,500 meters below sea level that only appears by radar and reveals a colossal geography invisible beneath the polar ice.

Science and Technology

Under the Antarctic ice lay a secret the size of a continent, the crust that fanned out when Australia separated, and uncovering this hidden mold could be the key to predicting how the ice will respond to global warming.

Science and Technology

Scientists from the USA have buried two seismometers in Antarctica at a depth of about 2.4 km under the ice, the deepest ever recorded, and are using the IceCube observatory structure to enhance earthquake monitoring, tsunami alerts, and nuclear test surveillance.

Science and Technology

Antarctica once had a tropical forest near the South Pole: fossilized roots, pollen, and spores extracted from the seabed reveal an ice-free continent 90 million years ago, with CO2 levels so high that they kept trees alive even after months without Sun.

Interesting facts

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

China is equipping a scientific base in the heart of Antarctica with solar, wind, hydrogen, and battery power to operate even during the polar night in the Ross Sea.

Science and Technology

Scientists discover that the melting of Antarctic ice shelves may trigger a “hidden accelerator” in the ocean, capable of accounting for two-thirds of the future increase in basal melting.

Science and Technology

Scientists discover 85 lakes hidden beneath kilometers of ice in Antarctica, raising the number of active reservoirs to 231 and revealing a liquid water system operating in the dark beneath the frozen continent.

Interesting facts

Scientists drilled 4 kilometers of ice in Antarctica in search of life hidden in lakes sealed for 15 million years, and what they found below, microbes that eat rock and survive without sunlight, became the key to searching for extraterrestrials on the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn.

Science and Technology

As the world watches the ice melting on the surface, researchers have discovered that the calving of icebergs in Antarctica can generate powerful underwater tsunamis, capable of stirring the ocean from below and altering the circulation of heat, nutrients, and oxygen in polar waters.

Science and Technology

Researchers discover that the melting of Antarctica is expected to advance across the continent, grow by more than 10% by 2100, and increase the risk of collapse in ice shelves after unprecedented 1 km climate models reveal highly vulnerable areas.
