'I'm copying gruelling Antarctic challenge that claimed Dad’s life with Prince William's support'
EXCLUSIVE: 'I'm copying gruelling Antarctic challenge that claimed Dad’s life with Prince William's support' Later this year, Max Worsely and expedition partner Martin Nesse will attempted to ski from the edge of the Antarctic to the geographic South Pole in temperatures plunging to minus 40 Skiing 870 miles across the Antarctic, pulling a 120kg sledge in temperatures of -40, would be a mammoth task for anyone. But for Max Worsely, the challenge laid out ahead of him is much more personal -...
Hidden meltwater found deep in Antarctic coastal waters reveals stronger climate impacts
June 5, 2026 feature Hidden meltwater found deep in Antarctic coastal waters reveals stronger climate impacts Hannah Bird Author Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Freshwater from melting Antarctic glaciers may be influencing the Southern Ocean in ways scientists have largely overlooked. New research, published in Frontiers in Marine Science, has found that glacial meltwater is not confined to the ocean's surface, as previously assumed, but can also be detected much...
Antarctic 'sky rivers' deliver up to 90% of snowfall, 3D algorithm suggests
Antarctic 'sky rivers' deliver up to 90% of snowfall, 3D algorithm suggests Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Atmospheric rivers act like "rivers in the sky," shuttling intense bands of warm, heavy moisture from lower to higher latitudes. When an atmospheric river encounters cold air or mountainous terrain, the moisture it carries condenses and falls as heavy rain or snow. In Antarctica, the arrival of an atmospheric river can help build surface ice mass.
Extreme weather is making Antarctic research harder, but new technology is providing some answers
Extreme weather is making Antarctic research harder, but new technology is providing some answers Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor When you think of Antarctica, you might imagine a stark, otherworldly continent of endless, white ice, with the only sound being the wind punctuated by the crack of a glacier calving in the distance. This image may have been true more than 30 years ago, but is certainly not the case anymore. In January, I met online with colleagues who...
Multiscale Decomposition Reveals Predictable Interannual Variability and Climate Trends in Antarctic Sea Ice Loss
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Antarctic sea ice has undergone unprecedented changes in recent years, raising questions about how this key geophysical system is responding to climate change. Decades of slow expansion were replaced by a precipitous decline in 2014-2017, a subsequent apparent recovery, and a renewed collapse from 2022 to the present. We diagnosed sea ice concentration (SIC) from satellite observations with a hierarchical decomposition method based on Dynamic Mode...
Japanese MP’s claim China eyes Antarctic ‘treasure trove’ dismissed
A Japanese lawmaker’s claim that China has its eyes on “a treasure trove” of resource wealth hidden beneath the Antarctic ice sheet has been dismissed by a polar law expert as a misreading of international obligations. But the claims made in parliament by Mitsuhiro Yokota, a member of the Japan Innovation Party, have also raised questions about what might happen to the world’s last great wilderness in future. “Beneath Antarctica lies a treasure trove of oil, natural gas, coal, iron ore, gold...
The 'Doomsday Glacier' is poised to lose its ice shelf this year. An Antarctic researcher explains what that means for global sea levels
Thwaites Glacier is the largest glacier in West Antarctica, pictured here by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission in 2019.
How waves, ponds and green algae are accelerating sea ice melt in Antarctica
How waves, ponds and green algae are accelerating sea ice melt in Antarctica Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Picture sea ice in your mind. You probably imagine brilliant white, snow-covered floes floating on the surface of the ocean, home to penguins in the south of the globe or polar bears in the north. But our new research shows Antarctic sea ice can turn into rafts of rotting floes (the free-floating pieces of ice) or an icy green slush when it interacts with waves in...
Giant fan-shaped structure found under East Antarctica
Giant fan-shaped structure found under East Antarctica Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor An international team of researchers including our Department of Geography has discovered a vast geological structure hidden beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The findings are published in the journal Nature Geoscience. Enormous subglacial basins The structure is made up of a system of enormous subglacial basins buried in ice over three kilometers thick in parts.
Bridge ban under review as Nuyina's refuelling saga drags on
Tasmania reconsiders bridge ban as Nuyina's refuelling saga drags on Thu 4 Jun 2026 at 5:19am In short: Safety concerns currently prevent Australia's Antarctic icebreaker from travelling under Hobart's Tasman Bridge to reach a nearby refuelling depot. But Tasmanian authorities say "all options" are on the table as the state government tries to resolve the costly refuelling issue. The Tasmanian government says allowing the RSV Nuyina to transit under the bridge is one of three options under...
