The first antarctic expedition falls into that period which is so peculiarly replete with important events, both in the world of politics and in the realm of science. We read in a leaflet issued ...

Roughly 1,550 square miles across, the world's biggest and oldest iceberg, known as A23a, calved from the Antarctic shelf in 1986. Before its calving in 1986, the colossal iceberg hosted a Soviet ...

There is indirect evidence that, during the last interglacial period, about 125,000 years ago, parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet retreated. An ice core drilled from the ice sheet near the ...

Humans have been recording the weather for thousands of years. Antarctic ice, however, has been at it for over a million. An international team of scientists has extracted a 1.74-mile-long (2.8 ...

Roughly 3,500 square kilometres (1,350 square miles) across, the world's biggest and oldest iceberg, known as A23a, calved from the Antarctic shelf in 1986. It remained stuck for over 30 years ...
