Strange pulses that don't seem to abide by the laws of particle physics have been detected in Antarctica. These radio waves, emanating from below the ice, could be evidence of dark matter and have ...

Many of us know Antarctica as a land of ice and not much else. But hidden beneath the miles of glaciers and ice sheets lies a ...

Mysterious radio signals detected emanating from Antarctica's ice have left particle physicists baffled. The pulses were ...

Antarctica is also home to over 400 subglacial lakes. The largest, Lake Vostok , lies under 2.5 miles (4 km) of ice near Russia's Vostok Station. "And what's in there?

By flying planes over Antarctica with ice-penetrating radar, lasers and other technology, NASA scientists are able to piece together a picture of the vast mountains, valleys and rivers under the ...

Bedmap3 is the most fine-grain map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice. Scientists created it using more than 60 years' worth of data from satellites, ships and dog-drawn sleds.

The Antarctic ice sheet, which covers 98% of the continent, averages around 1.2 miles in thickness, with its thickest point reaching nearly 3 miles, the Australian Antarctic Program reports.

Overall, they say the discovery of the hidden world under Antarctica’s ice had them “jumping up and down for joy.” Finding life under ice A map of Antarctica. Image source: lesniewski ...

The study says that Antarctica’s ice sheet shows little variation in the amount it will contribute to sea level rise, even under scenarios where global temperatures climb above 1.5 degrees Celsius.

A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater near the surface could help explain some of the decrease in Antarctic sea ...

Around 2060, models suggest, Antarctica could reach an inflection point where ice losses and sea level rise shoot up due to the onset of marine ice sheet and marine ice cliff instabilities. Under ...
