Martin Jucker receives funding from the NSW Bushfire and Natural Hazards Research Centre. Right now, cold air high above Antarctica is up to 35ºC warmer than normal. Normally, strong winds and the ...

Antarctica may have passed a climate tipping point of no return, scientists are warning, with mounting evidence that a sudden slump in sea ice formation since 2016 is linked to human-induced ocean ...

Endurance athlete Colin O'Brady, celebrated internationally in 2018 as the first person to traverse Antarctica solo and unassisted, is returning to the unforgiving continent for an even more arduous ...

Satellite observations have documented a pronounced decline in Antarctic sea ice extent since 2014, with especially sharp losses in recent years. Whether Antarctica's declining sea ice can recover ...

Since the beginning of September, temperatures in the atmosphere above Antarctica have soared by over 35°C (63°F), while wind speeds have halved and ozone depletion has suddenly stalled. This kind of ...

Antarctica is changing faster than anyone expected — and scientists are sounding the alarm. Collapsing ice shelves, record-low sea ice, and dying ecosystems are just the beginning. Experts now warn we ...
