THE otherworldly continent of Antarctica seems all the more fantastical when seen from a new perspective, as shown in these maps laying out its different features in detail. The maps were devised and ...
About 4,000 scientists travel around the vast, ice-covered continent of Antarctica each year to look at topics ranging from climate change to the search for dark matter, and prior to 2007, they were ...
Scientists using satellite data have now created the most detailed maps ever produced of the vast snow-covered Antarctic continent. The maps reveal unprecedented views of surface features that provide ...
Peter Rejcek, Antarctic Sun Editor: A science team planning to hunker down in Bull Pass in Antarctica’s central McMurdo Dry Valleys would today receive a fairly simplistic map that outlines proposed ...
Have you ever wondered what Antarctica might look like without ice? Now, a new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed, revealing ...
Top mapmakers are busily updating their charts after a massive iceberg sheared off Antarctica, fundamentally changing the landscape of the peninsula — likely forever. The 1 trillion ton iceberg that ...
Climate change is ravaging the ice that covers Antarctica, and how fast it melts will make a huge difference in how fast oceans rise. But the shape of the bedrock underneath is as important as the ...
If the ice blanketing Antarctica were to vanish, the world’s shorelines would be redrawn so radically that some countries ...
Antarctic scientists have combined measurements provided by an underwater robot with existing satellite data to show that Antarctic sea ice may be thicker than previously thought. Their ...
