Thousands of emperor penguin chicks lost their lives across Antarctica's four colonies as the region hit record-low sea ice levels which caused a “catastrophic breeding failure” in late 2022, as per new research.

As the Earth heats up, sea ice in the Antarctic region has fallen to a record low this year. On Tuesday, scientists warned that as the global temperatures rise, there is no quick fix to reverse the damage done.

As ice in Antarctica melts to new lows, scientists warn 'no quick fix'

Antarctica, a continent which is known to be covered in snow and ice, and has no permanent human population, has come under heated debate after a mysterious triangular structure appeared in its satellite images.

Mystery 'pyramid' appears in satellite images of Antarctica, sparks conspiracy theories

The temperatures in the coldest place away from Humanity like Antarctica are now becoming hot reason being global warming. Antarctica is facing one of the most alarming heat where it is currently Winters the sea ice is at a record low level around Antarctica according to the World of Weather Organization.

Antarctica's role in regulating global climate at risk

The ice, ocean, and ecosystems of Antarctica are essential for regulating the world's climate. Together, they contribute to the slowing of global warming, the sustaining of significant ocean currents, and the removal of millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. These sensitive processes are being upset by the climate problem.

Southern Europe is battling a ferocious heatwave, which has been inflamed by carbon pollution and is leading to severe health risks to people with old age and those suffering from underlying health conditions.

After more than a century of intrigue, scientists have discovered why Taylor Glacier in Antarctica bleeds 'crimson red' drool from its tongue. First discovered in 1911 by a British expedition to the continent, researchers had been confused up until now as to what could be the cause of bleeding from the Blood Falls.

Rising sea surface temperatures are yet another example of the effects of climate change on our planet, and it's impact is most noticeable on the earth's poles. The amount of sea ice around antarctica is now at the lowest levels ever recorded at the end of June. According to UK's MET office. The current Antarctic sea ice extent is more than 1.3 million square kilometres less than the next lowest amount for this time of year and this shortfall is more than five times the surface area of UK. Experts from the met office say Antarctic sea ice extent reaches a maximum around the end of September and a minimum around the end of February.

Concerns over the potential dual-use of research station as China speeds up construction of its new station in Antarctica. Western experts say that the station could be used for espionage, something China denies. Clearly another potential flashpoint between the US & China.

Scientists have yet again, sounded a warning over global warming and have said that melting ice in and around Antarctica is now threatening to dramatically slow deep-water currents in oceans across the world.

Melting ice in Antarctica may impact oceans 'for centuries': Study

Melting ice around Antarctica will cause a rapid slowdown of a major global deep ocean current by 2050 that could alter the world’s climate for centuries and accelerate sea level rise, according to scientists behind the new research. The research suggests if greenhouse gas emissions continue at today’s levels, the current in the deepest parts of the ocean could slow down by 40% in only three decades.

U.S. researchers have found that the area of sea ice around Antarctica has hit a record low. Erik Njoka tells you how melting of sea ice is a cause of concern and what will happen if the earth loses its white cover.

The poles are warming up!

Climate change is causing all sorts of visible changes around us. From the increased intensity of storms to melting glaciers, the effects are very apparent. Now another such development has made scientists take note.

Antarctic ice registers record low for second year

Our planet Earth is warming up global temperatures around the world are constantly increasing day by day. Even the polar regions known to have the coldest temperatures are slowly warming up the area of sea ice around antarctica has hit a record low. Mohammed Saleh brings you this report.

More than 65 per cent of plants and animals could go extinct by the end of this century if the current global emission trajectories remain the same, a new study has claimed.

Emperor penguins at major risk of extinction in Antarctica: Report

Antarctica is the home to the waddling tuxedo-like coloured Emperor Penguins but as our planet warms up, it is pushing these birds at the risk of extinction. Two-thirds of Antarctica's native species including Emperor Penguins are under the threat of extinction or major population declines by 2000.
