An underwater vehicle went missing after it exploded under the "Doomsday Glacier" in Antarctica. The 23-foot-long unmanned underwater vehicle (AUV), which was called Ran, was sent on a mission to study the Thwaites Glacier, and it disappeared this weekend.

India intends to construct a new scientific research station in Antarctica by the end of this decade. The new station aims to replace the Maitri research base which has been operating on the white continent for 35 years. Watch to know more.

India to get a new Antarctic research base

India has decided to build a new research station in Antarctica, replacing its “very old” predecessor Maitri station. The Maitri-2 station will be established in East Antarctica near the existing one, and it will be able to house about 90 scientists.

Having a baby is not just giving birth to a new life. All that follows puts a major strain on the lives of new parents. Take for example the very early days when the infant has no sleep schedule, or any schedule at all.

World's largest iceberg, formerly part of Antarctica, is moving away from the continent and has had scientists around the world focus their gaze on it. The iceberg, named A23a, had detached itself from the Antarctic shore in 1986 but had grounded itself to become a sort of an 'ice island'.

World's largest iceberg, bigger than Greater London, is moving away from Antarctica

The world's biggest iceberg called as A23a which is twice the size of greater London is now about to spill beyond Antarctic waters. How will the iceberg's passing through the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula? What impact could it produce? Let's find out.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres visited Antarctica on Thursday ahead of the COP28 climate talks. Previously, he stated that carbon emissions must be reduced globally to stop this fragile ecosystem from melting.Antarctic ice is melting as a result of rising air and ocean temperatures.

An interesting phenomenon is emerging in Antarctica. A new study has revealed that the reduction in sea ice in the continent is linked to heavier snowfall in the region.

Experts have raised concerns after avian influenza, or bird flu, was detected in the Antarctica region for the first time. British experts say that the deadly virus could pose a threat to penguins and other local species.

Bird flu detected in Antarctica region for the first time, experts raise concerns

Antarctica, known for its pristine and secluded landscapes, now faces an unprecedented threat as avian flu, a lethal variant of bird flu, has been identified on Bird Island, a part of the British overseas territory of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

The coming decades will likely witness a substantial acceleration in the melting of West Antarctica's ice shelves, even if the world cuts down on planet-warming emissions, warns new research.

The satellite data shows that this year's hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica has grown to become one of the biggest ever seen, with experts suggesting that the massive gap could have been caused by the eruption of Tonga's underwater volcano in early 2022.

Ozone hole over Antarctica grows to three times size of Brazil, is one of the biggest on record

Antarctica is likely warming much faster than the predictions made by climate change models. Citing a study, a report by The Guardian on Thursday (September 7) said that scientists analysed 78 Antarctic ice cores to recreate temperatures going back 1,000 years and found the warming across the continent was outside what could be expected from natural swings.

Sea ice that packs the ocean around Antarctica hit record low levels this winter. Researchers warn the shift can have dire consequences for animals like penguins who breed and rear their young on the sea ice. Watch this story to know why scientists fear that the impact of climate change at the southern pole is ramping up.

Gravitas: Melting poles in Antarctica under threat

A recent study has found that the most intense heat wave ever recorded on Earth was in Antarctica in March 2022, when the temperatures near the eastern coast reached 39 degrees Celsius above average.

Sea ice in Antarctica keeps plummeting to dangerous new lows. Sea ice levels at our planet's South Pole hit yet another record low for the winter season in mid-September, according to new satellite imagery from the National Snow and Ice Data Center, as the BBC writes.

Antarctica sea-ice at 'mind-blowing' low

Satellite data shows that sea-ice around Antarctica has receded to historically low levels, a worrying trend indicating areas earlier perceived as resistant to global warming are no longer able to hold up.

Earth's coldest and driest continent, Antarctica, is warming at an alarming rate. Now, the west Antarctic sheet particularly has started losing ice, contributing to a significant rise in sea level.

Antarctica heating faster than expected

Antarctica is heating up faster than expected. A scientific study reveals that it's warming at nearly double the global rate. Now, this could have significant consequences for rising sea levels.

Antarctica, an icy expanse of land often hailed as one of the world's last pristine places, hides a 'dirty' secret. Recent research published in PLOS One in August has revealed that portions of the seafloor near Australia's Casey research station are as polluted as some urban waterways.
