The loss of ice due to climate change in Antarctica is causing the once buoyant continent to be heaven-bound.
Research Says Antarctica was Once a Warm "Greenhouse" World
Results of a research expedition in Antarctic waters say that Antarctica, the ice-covered mass of land on the earth was once a warm greenhouse or hothouse world.
Results of a research expedition in Antarctic waters say that Antarctica, the ice-covered mass of land on the earth was once a warm greenhouse or hothouse world.
Climate change may be partly to blame for this situation. Antarctica lost about 200 gigatons per year of ice, and Greenland, 300 gigatons.
But there is another possible contributor. "The Earth has a very long memory," says Argus. As a result, "there is also a viscous response to ice loss from around 5000 to 10,000 years ago going on," he added.
Researchers Collect Venom from Octopuses in Antarctica
Scientists have managed to collect venom from octopuses in Antarctica, which will help them understand the properties of venom as a potential resource for drug development.

Climate Change Eradicating Slowly Microscopic Life in Antarctica
In a new research, scientists have used detailed satellite data to suggest that the changing climate is affecting not just the penguins at the apex of the food chain in Antarctica,
