The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

None of the main research on the voyage of the Araon was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, a sign of the difficult times for American science.

Antarctic glacier bleeds red water, and scientists reveal hidden pressure beneath the mysterious millennial ice.

The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...

A video is spreading on social media with claims that Elon Musk's Starlink internet service enabled a livestreamer to show Antarctica's "legendary 'ice wall'" -- a reference to the debunked flat-Earth ...

The Antarctic ice sheet does not behave as one single tipping element, but as a set of interacting basins with different critical thresholds. This is the finding of a new study by the Potsdam ...

The CDF Collaboration at Fermilab has confirmed that a subatomic particle called the Bs meson flips between matter and antimatter about 3 trillion times per second, a measurement so precise it ...

Why is Antarctica frozen? It is in the polar region, which is one explanation. But something deep underneath the continent ...

For a long time, scientists knew of a “gravity hole” beneath Antarctica—an area with particularly weak gravitational force. Considering the various threats currently faced by the region, scientists ...

A new study has reconstructed the evolution of the planet’s strongest nonhydrostatic geoid depression —the Antarctic Geoid ...

A “ring of fire” annular solar eclipse will be visible from Antarctica on Feb. 17, 2026, as the new moon sets the stage for ...
