Many states in India under the grip of heatwave. Shocking rise in temperature recorded in Antarctica. The planet is heating up, fast. Global Warming is a ticking time bomb We tell you why you can't ignore it.

WION Wideangle | Global Warming: A ticking time bomb

Parts of Antarctica have recorded temperature that's 38 degrees Celsius above normal. Scientists are calling it an extraordinary heatwave. The Antarctic ice shelf has collapsed as a result of the record heat. How is all of this affecting you? Listen in to Palki Sharma.

Ice shelf as big as Rome has collapsed in East Antarctica due to extraordinary heatwave. This is worrisome and the question arises, 'Is World's coldest place warming up?'

Glenzer Conger ice shelf collapses in East Antarctica

According to satellite data, an ice sheet the size of Rome has totally disintegrated in east Antarctica. The Conger ice shelf, which had a surface area of about 1,200 square kilometres, disintegrated on March 15, according to scientists.

An ice shelf about the size of Rome completely collapsed in Antarctica

Within days of record high temperatures in East Antarctica, an ice shelf the size of Rome collapsed completely in East Antarctica. Scientists report that the Conger ice shelf collapsed around 15 March, it had a surface area of approximately 1,200 square kilometres.

Climate Change: Ice shelf the size of Rome collapses in East Antarctica; scientists sound the alarm

The coldest location in the world has been experiencing high temperatures this week and this has caused a lot of concern among the meteorological experts. According to the data, Eastern Antarctica has recorded temperatures which are more than 30 degrees Celsius above the normal level.

Antarctica experiences massive heat wave, hits record high temperatures

In worrying news from the environmental front, Antarctica has hit record temperatures in eastern Antarctica. Now, the temperatures have soared to more than 30 degrees Celsius above normal.

Researchers have artificial intelligence to create a ''treasure map'' that detects 30,000 meteorites hiding across Antarctica. Published ''Universe Today,'' the study has been conducted by scientists from the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands.

The thwaites glacier in Antarctica is called the doomsday glacier for good reason. A giant iceberg and large chunks of ice that broke off from the doomsday glacier have now blocked an expedition of scientists.

Penguins have become more than just a symbol of the frozen south of the earth. Researchers now use them as indicators of climate change near the South Pole. Certain western regions, such as the Antarctic Peninsula, have experienced rapid warming while East Antarctica remains cold and ice-covered.

Here's how scientists use Penguins to predict climate change

Scientists have found evidence of an extreme solar 'tsunami' deep within the Earth's ice through analyses of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica. The study, conducted by a research team led by Lund University in Sweden, has been published in Nature Communications.

More than 20 cases of the coronavirus have been detected at the Esperanza Base research station in Antarctica, the media reported. According to Patricia Ortuzar of the government's National Directorate of the Antarctic, 24 of the 43 scientists and military personnel stationed at Argentina's La Esperanza outpost have been infected.

Amazing discoveries can be made anywhere around the world. Well, it's absolutely true. An icefish colony has been found in Antarctica. It seems to be the world's largest fish breeding ground.

Believe it or not: Rare ‘see-through’ fish colony found in Antarctica

Researchers exploring the ocean floor of Antarctica have discovered an ‘icefish colony’ the size of ‘about a third the size of London’. This in itself is an amazing discovery. Biologists have found about 60 million fish houses.

The effect of climate change can be felt across the globe, but the quest to understand its patterns and ways to tackle it continues. In the latest, the scientists have set up a camp in Antarctica to sample ice and chart climate trends from the past.

A new study has claimed that ship traffic is threatening Antarctica's pristine marine ecosystem. The research has been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).

In sort of a rerun of a horror flick, around two thirds of a total of 25 polar researchers in Antarctica have contracted COVID-19, a report said. These researchers, who are based at Belgium’s Princess Elisabeth Polar Station, were not just fully vaccinated but have also been living miles away from civilization, the Le Soir newspaper reported.

Two explorers, Justin Packshaw and Jamie Facer, have taken up a 3600-km-long trek across Antarctica. These bravehearts are walking on foot during a major part of the kitesurf trek amid temperatures falling to -55 degrees Celsius, putting extreme pressure on their bodies and mind.

Two explorers push limits in 3600-km-long trek across Antarctica, but why?

Antarctica is an icy world. Temperatures go unimaginably low in winters. You may have seen viral videos of researchers bringing hot noodles in open while in Antarctica and the boiling food freezing in literally some secionds.

Scientists surprised as abundant animal life found deep under Antarctica ice sheet

Scientists are worried about the rapid melting of glaciers as cold glacial-melt water enters the warmer ocean, slowing ocean currents and as ice on land melts, the sea levels continue to rise.

According to scientists, Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, commonly referred to as the "doomsday glacier" could shatter within the next five years. The collapse of the glacier will have a devastating impact on global sea levels.

Researchers have unearthed ''priceless'' artefacts associated to Antarctic explorers Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton. The surprise discovery, made inside a storage room in New Zealand, contains the details of the famed expeditions in 1914.

Anyone says Antarctica and all we can think of is endless ice sheets and cute-looking penguins. It's hard to imagine anything else happening. Antarctica is a frozen desert with negligible vegetation and limited animal life.

The hole in ozone that is created every year over the south pole region has now become larger than Antarctica, said scientists from the European Union's Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service.
