Antarctic sea ice is more than just a platform for penguins. The sea ice's high reflectivity influences the whole Earth's ...

Antarctic icefish, also called “white-blooded fish,” belong to the family Channichthyidae. They are found exclusively in the frigid waters off Antarctica.

Antarctic sea ice extent has fallen dramatically in recent years – the effects include accelerated ocean warming, faster loss ...

Just a few years ago, scientists found an estimated 60 million ice fish nesting beneath the Antarctic ice. Odds are these sorts of communities are common beneath the ice.

An unexpected find in an Antarctic fishing expedition has given researchers a new lens into the science of global climate change.

A sudden salinity spike in the Southern Ocean is accelerating Antarctic ice loss and triggering a dangerous climate feedback ...

Emperor penguin populations are falling much faster than expected. Ice is melting beneath their chicks before they’re ready.

Crustaceans, snails, worms and fish are among the dozens of creatures that deep-sea explorers discovered under a massive Antarctic ice shelf. Accessibility statement Skip to main content Democracy ...

A long-term study in the Southern Ocean reveals a clear correlation between warming waters, decreased sea ice, and reduced abundance of Antarctic silverfish. These small, abundant fish are important ...

Earlier this year, a gigantic iceberg fell from the Antarctic ice sheet. When the approximately 19-mile long chunk of ice (roughly the size of Chicago) broke off on Jan. 13, it revealed an area of ...

Because Antarctic dragonfish live in remote parts of the Southern Ocean, they are poorly understood today, the journal said. The fish live in deep waters as adults, research shows.
