Iceberg A23a could die any time now, as the latest photos from NASA show it covered with a blue mush that forms from meltwater. Once the world's largest iceberg, it has been moving for 40 years after breaking away from Antarctica.

A historic ice vault has been inaugurated in Antarctica, creating the world’s first long-term ice core library designed to preserve samples from glaciers that are rapidly melting due to climate change. Scientists say the vault will store ice cores collected from around the world, allowing future researchers to study Earth’s climate. The project is being described as a global scientific archive aimed at protecting vital climate data for generations to come.

Over 300 earthquakes in Antarctica have gone undetected for more than a decade. A scientist has found that the Thwaites Glacier, also known as the Doomsday Glacier, bore the majority of brunt of these tremors, and could have made it much weaker.

An Australian team of scientists sent a free-floating robot to study a particular glacier in Antarctica. But it drifted away from its destination and ended up in an area that is extremely tough to observe and analyse. It was thought lost, but was actually trapped somewhere else.

The Thwaites Glacier, or the Doomsday Glacier, is showing more signs of damage and is inching closer to its end. New studies have noticed that the cracks have spread to a larger area, and scientists think more stressors are at play.

Scientists have discovered that the Antarctic ice sheet witnessed a rapid collapse thousands of years ago. This was also because of the warming climate. The warm ocean water triggered an effect that led to the massive East Antarctic ice sheet falling apart.

Antarctica has a bug that is also known as the midge, which is now eating microplastics. Scientists have found only a tiny bit in this tiny insect, but say it is a warning sign for the future and the conditions in the frozen continent.
