A new map of Antarctica’s seafloor reveals a vast and previously overlooked network of 332 submarine canyons, some plunging more than 4,000 meters. The findings provide an unprecedented view into how ...

Scientists have uncovered a new threat hiding under the floating edges of Antarctica: fast moving, stormlike swirls of water ...

Scientists exploring beneath Antarctica’s ice uncovered thousands of fish nests arranged in striking geometric patterns.

On January 13, 2025, iceberg A-84, which is roughly the size of Chicago, broke from the George VI Ice Shelf, a giant floating glacier attached to the Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet, leading to the ...

Scientists have discovered that underwater storms are drawing warm waters under the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, potentially hastening its destruction.

When ice freezes and melts, it creates vortices that drag warmer waters from the depths to the surface, where they eat away ...

A giant phantom jelly is documented in the Bellingshausen Sea off Antarctica, at an area where the shelf break and slope are cut by several underwater gullies. This jellyfish can grow to a massive ...

Antarctica's so-called "doomsday glacier" -- nicknamed because of its high risk of collapse and threat to global sea level -- has the potential to rapidly retreat in the coming years, scientists say, ...

Spinning vortices of water trapped under the Thwaites glacier ice shelf account for 20 per cent of the ice melt. They’re ...

Striations, grooves, and mud deposits from anchor retrieval were visible in the substrate of the ocean floor. At the disturbed sites, little to no marine life was present. Credit: Matt Mulrennan / ...

Songs have lowered in frequency, in part because of changes to ocean water. Whales in the ocean around Antarctica are changing their tune, according to a new study. Publishing their findings in the ...
