At the edge of the Antarctic Peninsula, far from research stations and tourist routes, a small team collected seawater in conditions that are not easi.

Ocean Heat Content Reaching Record Levels Let's be honest, the oceans are acting like a sponge for our planet's fever. More than nine-tenths of the warming that has happened on Earth over the past 50 ...
