A team of scientists has successfully extracted a nearly 3-kilometer-long ice core from Antarctica, dating back at least 1.2 million years. This research aims to uncover changes in Earth’s atmosphere and climate, shedding light on ancient ice ages. The operation…
Scientists have successfully extracted a 1.2 million-year-old ice core from Antarctica, the oldest known sample of its kind. This 2.8 km-long core contains ancient air bubbles that could help unravel climate mysteries related to glacial cycles and human survival. The…
Scientists have extracted a 2.8km-long ice core from Antarctica, dating back 1.2 million years. This ancient ice contains air bubbles that may help decipher a critical missing link in Earth’s climate history, particularly regarding glacial cycles and human evolution. Led…
A European research team has achieved a breakthrough in climate science by drilling an ice core in Antarctica that extends back at least 1.2 million years. The core, 2.8 kilometers long, is expected to provide crucial insights into the Earth’s…
Scientists have extracted a 2.8 km-long ice core from Antarctica, dating back 1.2 million years. The core preserves ancient air bubbles, potentially illuminating critical periods in Earth’s climate history, particularly the glacial cycles that may have impacted human ancestors. Led…
Chilean President Gabriel Boric has made history by becoming the first leader in the Americas to visit the South Pole. His trip, which included cabinet members and scientists, aimed to reinforce Chile’s sovereignty claims over part of Antarctica and highlight…
Chilean President Gabriel Boric has made history by becoming the first leader in the Americas to visit the South Pole. Accompanied by scientists and cabinet members, Boric emphasized Chile’s commitment to Antarctic sovereignty and scientific projects, especially related to climate…
Ricardo Kaljouw from Oost-Souburg is on the verge of becoming the first Dutch person to climb the highest volcanoes on all seven continents if he successfully ascends Mount Sidley in Antarctica. This expedition is the culmination of a decade-long dream…
At the Dumont d’Urville research station in Antarctica, French scientists celebrate New Year’s Eve with a pirate-themed party, despite the harsh weather and isolation. Dr. Sophie Faille shares her experiences of the festive atmosphere, emphasizing the camaraderie among colleagues while…
Recent developments in the Antarctic, as highlighted by researchers, indicate a rapid loss of polar ice, which is significantly contributing to climate change. The diminishing ice not only reflects less sunlight but also releases greenhouse gases from permafrost, exacerbating global…
As Christmas approaches, researchers in Antarctica are engaged in scientific studies while adapting festive traditions to their remote setting. Dr. Kate Winter from Northumbria University leads a team studying the Flask Glacier’s meltwater effects on glacier flow into the ocean….
Christina Balomenaki and Evhari Gourdounti, two researchers from the Technical University of Crete, are set to depart for a groundbreaking Antarctic mission on December 21. Organized by the Greek Society for Polar Zones, the expedition aims to mitigate psychological effects…
